Seminar reminder
PLEASE FORWARD
THIS TO STAFF AND STUDENTS IN YOUR FACULTY WHO MAY BE INTERESTED
The
next seminar in the series Cultural History and Literary
Imagination will take place on Friday 17 October at 5pm in
the Dirac Room, St John's College. Margaret Rose (Clare Hall)
will give a paper entitled 'Industrialism enters art: the case of
Theodor Mintrop'.
Margaret Rose has published several books on subjects which
range from the aesthetics of Karl Marx to the theory of postmodernism
and the history of parody down the ages, and she has a particular
expertise in the art of the 19th century. Theodor Mintrop
(1814-1870) was a member of the Düsseldorf "Malkasten"
association of artists, and Margaret's paper draws on the research
she did in connection with a newly discovered collection of drawings
by Mintrop, "Das Album für Minna", which she has published
in a commentated volume this year with the German Aisthesis publishing
house.
