Interlaced Existence: Death, Life, Liminality
This seminar investigates the material and temporal aspects of mortality, scrutinizing intricate connections across all scales of life, death, and design. We posit that mortality is agency, and that life and death are intertwined. The future is relational. And moral deliberations begin with noticing.
Through close reading, precise writing, critical conversation, and independent research, you will unpack and re-frame diverse conventions, rituals, and priorities: those both culturally valued and under siege.
Life-Death: beyond all binaries and dualities, a delicate web connects and characterizes inextricable simultaneities across multi-scalar cycles of life and death. While seemingly discernible, the constituents of life and death are inseparable, each defining the other in a shifting gradient of presence and absence. We will attend to these liminal interdependencies and their potentials throughout the term.
Early in the semester, students will identify research interests to facilitate rigorous, discursive interaction among the seminar participants and the subjects of your study, simultaneously elevating and focusing our weekly conversations. Selected topics may be analytical, conceptual, metaphysical, existential, historical, propositional, projective… Meticulous research will include in-determinacy, analysis, making, writing, gradients, positions, poetry… ; likely generating as many questions as answers.
Collectively we will find aliveness and even shreds of optimism amidst the realities of the world’s griefs and pains, losses and reconfigurations.
