Michael Vila's calendar for event attendance planning.

The aim of this workshop is to read Old English texts differently by noticing how they work with and within material systems that are traditionally seen as separate from the written realm of ideas and the aesthetics of poetic art in particular. In pursuing this approach, what can we notice that we might have missed before about these texts, the world that produced them, and its (dis)continuities with our own moment?

Readings:

• Soul and Body I and Soul and Body II
• Laura Sanders, “Turning Human Bodies into Compost Works”
• Description of Urban Death Project
