Getting the grain: the teaching of two poems reconsidered
04 Mar 2020, 17:30 – 19:15
In this seminar, So Young Lee discusses the problems that teaching poetry presents and how this can be illustrative of wider curricular and pedagogical challenges. She questions of knowledge and remembrance as these arise in two poems.
She will look at the poems in relation to Lyotard’s conception of the immemorial.
Lyotard is concerned with a kind of repression in dominant conceptions of knowing and thinking, and with the insulation from experience that this effects.
What is at stake in reading the poems is not so much the seeking of essential meanings, as a turning of attention to what cannot be fully grasped or contained.
