This is a Die Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft Series lecture, sponsored by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures.
Speaker bio: Theo Malekin received a PhD from the University of Glasgow’s Center for Literature, Theology and the Arts where his research focused on broadly religious questions thrown up by some of the later plays of August Strindberg. Implicated in these questions were the seismic shifts in 19C European religious consciousness engendered by a mix of Darwinism, Biblical criticism and a growing awareness of the religious traditions of Asia. His interests remain interdisciplinary in nature, lying at the intersection of literature and the arts with broad intellectual and religious currents. Dr. Malekin teaches Scan 251 - "Viking Mythology," Scan 252 - "Viking Sagas in Translation," and Scan 463 - "Ibsen in Translation." He is the author of Strindberg and Sacred Theatre. Amsterdam & New York: Rodopi, 2010.
