Dorothy Noyes: Taking the Temperature: Weather Talk as a Gauge of Sense in Common
Abstract
This talk builds on an earlier essay that explored the interplay of common sense, common sensing, and commonplaces (clichés of language) in public discourse about an abnormally wet spring in the US Midwest. Recognizing that my earlier argument depended on both an American intellectual history and a US political context, I turn to a comparison of "false spring" discourse across European and US vineyards.
Dorothy Noyes is College of Arts & Sciences Distinguished Professor of English, with a joint appointment in the Department of Comparative Studies. Noyes studies political performance and the traditional public sphere in Europe, with an emphasis on how shared symbolic forms and indirect communication facilitate coexistence in situations of endemic social conflict. She also writes on folklore theory and the international policy careers of culture concepts. Among her books are Fire in the Plaça: Catalan Festival Politics After Franco (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2003); Humble Theory: Folklore’s Grasp on Social Life (Indiana University Press, 2016); and Sustaining Interdisciplinary Collaboration: A Guide for the Academy, co-authored with Regina F. Bendix and Kilian Bizer (University of Illinois Press, 2017). Her current book projects are Exemplary Failures: Gesture and Emulation in Liberal Politics and, co-edited with Tobias Wille, The Global Politics of Exemplarity. In summer 2022 she will begin an appointment as Director of Ohio State’s Mershon Center for International Security Studies.
Der Vortrag findet am Donnerstag, 12. Mai 2022 um 17:00 Uhr am Institut für Europäische Ethnologie, Hanuschgasse 3, 1010 Wien, Seminarraum 1 statt.
