Key Thinkers, Key Texts Lecture

Hi ELSA members and friends,

Thanks to everyone who came to the mixer last Friday! We had a pretty good turnout (despite the snowstorm) and it was nice to see a mix of familiar and new faces.

Here is an event, coming up at the U of W, which may interest ELSA members and English Students:

At the urging of current grad students in U of W's MA in Cultural Studies, there will be a series of talks and discussions about critical and cultural theories hosted by the Cultural Studies Graduate Program Committee. The first lecture in the series on Key Thinkers, Key Texts being, by Dr. Andrew Burke of the English Department, is entitled "Notes on Jameson," and is scheduled for Wednesday, January 23, from 12:30 - 2:00 p.m. in Room 5L24, and takes as its point of departure Jameson's 1979 article, "Reification and Utopia in Mass Culture." 

The article can be found through JStor in the UW Library at this link: http://www.jstor.org/stable/466409.

Thanks and hope to see you there!
