Corporeal Creations: Bodily Figurations of Creativity, Online Workshop – 24 March 2021

You are warmly invited to attend the forthcoming workshop “Corporeal Creations: Bodily Figurations of Creativity,” to be held online via Zoom at Tübingen University on 24 March 2021. Please see the program below. The workshop will examine medieval and post-medieval examples of creative metaphors in literature which draw upon the corporeal and to consider their communicative functions. It’s free to attend, and it’ll include talks on medieval robots, vampires, zombies, monsters, and other wonderful things.

For the Zoom link and reserving a space, please email curtis.runstedler@philosophie.uni-tuebingen.de or sarah-jane.briest@uni-tuebingen.de. We look forward to seeing you there!
