The Brian Merrilees Lecture: “The Ethical Turn in Literary Criticism: A Brilliant New Approach or an Assault on the Humanities?”
William Calin (University of Florida)
Alumni Hall, 91 Charles St. W.
Current approaches to literary studies react against formalism and deconstruction. One of these is the so-called Ethical Turn. In his talk, Professor Calin examines this ethical approach while discussing Francois Rabelais, Louis Aragon, the Breton-language writer Roparz Hemon, Paul de Man, and The Song of Roland.
