I find the cultural differences between workers in the sciences and humanities…[Read more]

Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoHello Gloria and Lisa,
This sounds fascinating. I’m an out-of-towner on this one but the connections are intriguing, especially given their speculative nature. I work on Chaucer’s Treatise on the Astrolabe and so have a (deeply) vested interest in crossing the borders between Arts and Sciences. I’ll be watching this space with a lot of…[Read more]

Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoHi, Lisa,
We chose the two contemporaries because of new information we had from Ewen Whitaker, a British astronomer who has made a working Digges Perspective Glass.

Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoHi Gloria,
Just out of curiosity, why Galileo and Shakespeare? There are so many examples of poets and men of science who really did cross the line between arts and sciences. Why not some of them?
Cheers,
Lisa Ann

Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoHello,
A group of us have been thinking and rethinking a documentary film project that would show the value of crossing the line between science and the arts.
At first we were going to make it a conversation between Galileo and Shakespeare–roughly contemporaries.

Petar Ramadanovic started the topic Special Session MLA on Forgetting in the forum
Literary Criticism on MLA Commons 11 years, 11 months agoAnd Forgetting? And future? Negotiating sites of memory focuses on various forms of remembering and seldom on the role that forgetting plays in creating a past. This is because we in literary studies normally assume that forgetting is the opposite of remembering, which is a rather narrow, Aristotelian way to understand this process and phenomenon.…[Read more]
