New Directions in Salvage Poetics: A Conference

“Salvage poetics” is a term that describes the ways in which artistic and anthropological discourses intersect to capture and describe disappearing cultures.

During this two-day seminar, 15 scholars from universities including the University of Chicago, Brown, Cornell, Yale, and Princeton will focus on new methodologies for scholarly engagement with artifacts as a means of “salvaging” dead or dying cultures.
