Place Humanities Building, Lecture hall F

The Department of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies invites you to the annual Burman lectures in philosophy. This years invited lecturer is Professor Elisabeth Camp, Rutgers University. She will give three open lectures over three days on the theme Perspectives, Frames, and the Coercion of Intimacy. 

Lecture 2: Perspectival Framing With Pictures and Words

Abstract: We communicate through various media, and for various purposes.  Pictures and words make meaning in different ways, which offer different imaginative and expressive profiles for communication. I explore three differences between imagistic and linguistic systems, in terms of what contents they can represent, how they express perspectives, and the force with which they present the perspectival contents they communicate, and I explore the ensuing aesthetic tradeoffs they present.

All interested are welcome to these lectures!
