SUMMARY:Live-streamed event on "Global Humanities?
 "
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140312
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140312
DESCRIPTION:4Humanities.org will host a live-strea
 med event on "Global Humanities?" on March 12, 201
 4, noon-1:30 pm Pacific Standard Time. The feature
 d participant will be Rens Bod, professor of human
 ities and digital humanities at University of Amst
 erdam, who will engage online with Alan Liu, David
  Marshall (Dean of Humanities & Fine Arts, Univers
 ity of California, Santa Barbara ), and others at 
 UC Santa Barbara on the question of the humanities
  and global humanities.    The questions are:  How
  can we think comparatively about what the humanit
 ies mean in multiple areas of the world with educa
 tional and funding systems not necessarily commens
 urable with U.S.-style "liberal arts"?  For exampl
 e, how are the humanities and arts talked about el
 sewhere?  How are their histories and traditions d
 ifferent?  How are they positioned relative to oth
 er disciplines, institutions, and social sectors? 
  How are their different functions interrelated--m
 emorial, educational, critical, research-oriented,
  etc.?  In both the past and the contemporary mome
 nt, how are humanities and arts differently valued
  or challenged around the world?   The event will 
 be livestreamed on YouTube from the event page at 
 http://4humanities.org/2014/02/. Suggested reading
 s from Rens Bod's book and Geoffrey Galt Harpham's
  *The Humanities and the Dream of America* are ava
 ilable from the event page (request a login to dow
 nload the readings from Lindsay Thomas: lindsaytho
 mas at umail.ucsb.edu ). For more information, con
