Rapture at Depth: The rhetoric of enchantment in dive documentation

Thursday, January 24, 2013
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
(Pacific)
Levinthal Hall
Speaker: 

As part of The Europe Center's ongoing lecture series "Europe Now", Stanford professor Margaret Cohen will bring to light documentary narratives by dive pioneers of the 1920s-1950's (Beebe, Hass, Taillez, Diolé), and why these documentarians turn to a poetic imagery of marvels and enchantments to express aspects of human perception. 

Professor Cohen is Professor of Comparative Literature
