→ “Thoughts on Picturing Weather and Climate

Wednesday 9th December 2020, 17:00.

Speaker: Professor John Peters, Maria Rosa Menocal Professor of English and of Film and Media Studies, Yale University.

Weather, despite its reputation as fleeting and flighty, is one of the most heavily mediated things we know. Via a ramble through some Dutch and British landscape paintings and more recent technical images, I will explore how pictures have embodied, represented, and brought forth weather and climate.

Prof Peters’s books include The Marvelous Clouds: Towards a Philosophy of Elemental Media (2015), Courting the Abyss: Free Speech and the Liberal Tradition (2005), Mass Communication and American Social Thought (2004) and Speaking into the Air: A History of the Idea of Communication (1999).
