Author Reading | Stefanos Geroulanos discusses his book Transparency in Postwar France
Between 1945 and 1985, academics, artists, revolutionaries, and state functionaries in France spoke of ... more >> transparency in pejorative terms. Associating it with the prying eyes of totalitarian governments, they undertook a critical project against it—in education, policing, social psychology, economic policy, and the management of information. Focusing on Sartre, Lacan, Canguilhem, Lévi-Strauss, Leroi-Gourhan, Foucault, Derrida, and others, Transparency in Postwar France explores the work of ethicists, who proposed that individuals are transparent neither to each other nor to themselves, and philosophers, who clamored for new epistemological foundations. These decades saw the emergence of the colonial and phenomenological "other," the transformation of ideas of normality, and the effort to overcome Enlightenment-era humanisms and violence in the name of freedom. Stefanos Geroulanos is Associate Professor of European History and Director of the Center for International Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences at New York University.

Lecture | The Audacious Metaphors of Mystical Women: The Model of Caterina da Siena
Religious education for women included spiritual meditation by which it was specifically taught to revive ... more >> the life and passion of Christ. Spiritual meditation generated the tendency to superimpose the visible, earthly reality to the divine and metaphysical one, producing metaphors that frequently appeared in their texts. In women's religious writings, many metaphors are drawn from the Bible, but many are created by the same mystical writers who often forge the so-called "audacious metaphors," that is, metaphors that surprise the readers and exceed their expectations. Caterina da Siena has been a model for many mystical writers. During the lecture, Prof. Rita Librandi will analyze Catherine's metaphors that compare Christ to a mother who nurses, or with objects and people of the city's lives at the time, such as a merchant's workshop or even a moneylender. It is also thanks to these combinations that the Letters of Caterina da Siena acquire particular intensity and literary creativeness.
