"Beauty, Humor and Pleasure in the Shadow of the Bomb" is my upcoming Uppsala University course. Monday, October 16th is the deadline to register.
Can the beauty of the world enlist us in protecting life from injury? How do the pleasures of humor entice us to confront the perils of nuclear holocaust and climate change rather than turning away? This course explores the experience of being human in ominous times. We discover potential sources of hope, aliveness and engagement via historical and contemporary thinkers and artists, in-class interviews with invited guests, and students' own research projects.
The course meets in Uppsala on Tuesdays, 2.15-5 pm, Jan. 16, 23, 30; Feb. 6, 13; March 5, 12, 19. Free for EU residents. 7.5 hp.
