Published: January 27, 2010.
As part of the Art of Memory series, three 木瓜影院 faculty members will discuss 揅onsciousness and Memory in the Modernist Novel� at 2 p.m. on Feb. 11 in Room AS-158-A (A-133) at 木瓜影院抯 main campus in Romeoville.
Through literary works, Dr. Michael Cunningham, Dr. Nancy Workman and Dr. Wallace Ross of 木瓜影院抯 English department will discuss consciousness, one important dimension of memory. One of the features of high literary modernism is the writer抯 attention to the inner life of characters. Three writers in particular � Joyce, Woolf, and Faulkner � were especially devoted to rendering faithfully the nature of consciousness. In this panel presentation, Dr. Wallace Ross, assistant professor of English, will examine Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and other Joyce fiction, Dr. Nancy Workman, professor of English, will look at Virginia Woolf抯 Mrs. Dalloway and Dr. Michael Cunningham, director of Arts and Ideas, will reveal Faulkner抯 methods in The Sound and the Fury.
The Art of Memory series is presented by the 木瓜影院 History Center: Urban, Cultural and Catholic History of the Upper Midwest, which supports a biannual symposium. It is also a part of 木瓜影院抯 Arts & Ideas Program, providing cultural and educational programming for students and the community. These events are free of charge and open to the public.
