Gloria Lee McMillan replied to the topic Film Project: Sci. and Lit. in the forum
Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoI thought some of you who have posted might like to see the power point I have been using to speak to groups about our film project. This is the older version, centered upon Galileo and Shakespeare but i think you will find it fun to view. I am thinking of adding chapter two–the plot thickens with the Shakespearean scholars vs. astronomers who…[Read more]

Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoYes, as I understand it, tension needs to build up to the climax, which may be a confrontation. This will provide the framework for a discussion of evidence. It sounds as if you need a good opener to set the theme–maybe a staged modern argument between scholars?

Gloria Lee McMillan replied to the topic Film Project: Sci. and Lit. in the forum
Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoThanks, Lila. I will keep that in mind. I am stepping back from the F2F meeting of Galileo and Will Shakespeare to focus on why Shakespeareans get apoplexy over the attempts of astronomers who attempt to read Hamlet (Peter Usher), for example as containing clues to Shakespeare’s knowledge of “the new philosophy” of Copernicus’ heliocentric solar…[Read more]

Lila Marz Harper replied to the topic Film Project: Sci. and Lit. in the forum
Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoFor a film, you need a narrative arc. This can be a challenge when dramatizing science history and that is something to keep in mind.

Literature and Science on MLA Commons 11 years, 7 months agoHi Gloria,
Yes, that does make more sense. The period is earlier than mine–I work in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with a focus on Romantic poets and “scientists.” Certainly, the moment has come for consilience. I think a film that shows how the past couple hundred years are relatively unique in our aggressive separation of the…[Read more]
