The Critical Function Workshop series - Feb 29

“How do we intervene?” These opening lines from Serge Daney’s vital essay, “The Critical Function,” published fifty years ago, animate The Critical Function Workshop, a gathering dedicated to writing, criticism, and intellectual community. We provide a regular workshop aimed at comments, feedback, and criticism of works-in-progress on topics ranging from moving images, visual culture, aesthetics, to mass media. The workshop will provide a nonhierarchical space for both graduate students and professors to share and respond to each other’s work. We are dedicated to presenting works of both theory and history, aesthetics and politics.

We are happy to announce our second Critical Function workshop of the semester with an essay by Srijita Banerjee. Srijita’s is presenting “Collecting Animation,” on the work of experimental filmmaker, Harry Smith. Professor Brian Price will be the respondent. 

Please RSVP here to receive the paper.

As usual, drinks and food will be served!
