Welcome to the Memory + Place + Identity project that David Morris and I have been tending for a year. David is my colleague at Concordia, and Chair of the Philosophy Department. We're deep into the process, and are beginning a round of experiments on "room effects" via haptic, sonic, kinesthetic, vs ocular modes. We have a group of very sharp and energetic grad students in philosophy and fine arts. Although our backgrounds and approaches may be different, I'm looking forward to opening a window and seeing what synergies ensue.
I hope that it'll be ok to introduce some non-fleshly presences, given our concern with phenomenology.
I will send a few references, and try to summarize our past seminar over the past year, in the next email, but wanted to send a quick welcome following Paula's email. (Thanks Paula!)
Warm regards,
Xin Wei
