Spring 2010 Patten Lecture on March 30

You are invited to the Patten Lecture Series.

Literary critic W.J.T. Mitchell from the University of Chicago will speak at this free series on:

"Images and Others -- Migration, Law and the Image: Beyond the Veil of Ignorance"

Tuesday, March 30
7:30 p.m.
Rawles Hall, Room 100

Mitchell will discuss the convergence of three disciplines: the law, with its entire edifice of judicial practice and political philosophy; migration, as the movement and settlement of living things, especially (but not exclusively) human beings, across the boundaries between distinct habitats; and iconology, the theory of images across the media, including verbal and visual images, metaphors and figures of speech as well as visual representations.
