3/8/12-3/10-12 Exemplarity/Singularity
3/8-1:30 pm; 3/9-9:30 am; 3/10-9:00 am, Franke Institute for the Humanities
This interdisciplinary conference considers antique and modern forms of exemplarity and their role in constructing subjectivity. It deals with the transformation of textual genres such as casus and exemplum, anecdote, and novella from antiquity to modernity and with the ways in which these genres shape the relationship between exemplarity and singularity. At issue are knowledge formation and transmission, memory and its media, the pragmatics of telling stories, the structure of the disciplines, and the interaction of the normative with the exceptional.
