Art and the Brain (AATB) – a UNC–Duke interdisciplinary conversation evening, Seminar Two: Literature and the Brain (March 02, 6 PM)
As part of theCarolina Seminars program, this monthly event brings together faculty from the Departments of Psychology, Psychiatry, English and Comparative Literature, Neurology, and Art History to explore a unique aspect of our shared human experience: the intersection of literature and health.
Art, creativity, neurology, and psychiatry may appear as divergent disciplines, but their relations within brain function are a common feature. Reciprocally, art explores new ideas, metaphors, and conceptions that contribute to the ways we understand the brain, ourselves, and our world.
The second of this seminar series will focus onLiterature and the Brain, with panelists Jean-Baptiste Chantoiseau (Director of Flaubert Museum France; Professor of Art History), Inger Brodey (English and Comparative Literature), and two faculty from the Department of Medicine, as well as an open panel.
