Intellectual and Literary History Public Seminar Program
Semester 1 2018
Cultures and Values
The related concepts of ‘cultures’ and ‘values’ provide us with lenses for understanding the world. But these concepts are themselves, to a large degree, historical products. The presentations in this seminar series will look at ways in which these and similar categories have been deployed in different contexts—past and present—offering critical reflections on the relationship between them, and on their adequacy as analytical tools.
