Narrative, Science, Performance Symposium
Hosted by Project Narrative
October 1-3, 2009
This Symposium, held during the 50th anniversary of C.P. Snow's discussion of the "two cultures," will bring scientists and humanists together to explore new possibilities for dialogue. Speakers will address such issues as the following: how practices developed in the sciences relate to assumptions and methods of humanistic study; how concepts from science re-shape forms of narrative and performance and how story and performance in turn re-frame scientific concepts; where theoretical dimensions of narrative and performance might intersect with storytelling dimensions of scientific inquiry; and what challenges and opportunities face attempts to communicate across long-standing disciplinary divides.
