Subject: NEH Summer Seminar for College Teachers
Announcing a NEH Summer Seminar for College Teachers,
"Bible and Literature in Bakhtinian Perspective:
The Sacred, the Secular and the Profane"
to be offered by Michael Holquist (Yale) and Walter Reed (Emory) at Yale
University, New Haven, CT, June 19 - August 4, 1995.
Using the theory of dialogue developed by the Russian thinker Mikhail
Bakhtin, the seminar will investigate writings from the Bible, literary
texts that engage the Bible in provocative ways or that assert a sacred
authority of their own, and theories of literature and culture that
address the relations among sacred, secular and profane texts. The
seminar aims to attract teachers and scholars from diverse fields, esp.
religion, literature, philosophy and anthropology. Participants receive
a stipend of $3,600 for the 7-week seminar.
