GingerTalks: The Literary Art of Bob Dylan: Nobel Laureate - Ginger Swartz Tue Mar 16 2-3:30 pm $10 Since Bob Dylan was awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature, a debate has raged as to whether songwriting, as an art, can be defined as literature. The Swedish Academy declared that Dylan “created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.” The Academy further noted that their choice was warranted partly because Bob Dylan “is the object of a steady stream of secondary literature.” In addition to his long and varied musical history, Dylan has published “Tarantula”, a 1971 collection of his poetry and “Chronicles: Volume One”, his 2004 self-styled memoir. So – is songwriting as an art actually literature? And do Bob Dylan’s songs qualify as great literature? This program will explore the written research focused on these questions and will invite discussion about whether Dylan is qualified as a Nobel laureate. Early Chinese Art History - Allen Reamer Fri Mar 19 - Mar 26 9-11 am $15 China has a long history with the shape and size of the country changing over time.
