Really? Jane Taylor on Sincerity

Wednesday, May 13, 6:30 p.m.

Wollman Hall, Lang Building, 5th Floor, (enter at 66 West 12th Street)

Admission: $8, free for all students as well as New School faculty, staff and alumni with ID

Tickets: 212 229-5488 or

boxoffice@newschool.edu 

 

Jane Taylor is a South African playwright and critic, and a contributor to the Vera List Center’s book "Considering Forgiveness." In her recent work, Taylor has focused on the history and theory of the performance of subjectivity; for this lecture, she will examine sincerity, drawing from her work with visual artist William Kentridge and the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Dr. Jane Taylor (Wits School of the Arts, Skye Chair of Dramatic Art and Head of the Division of Dramatic Arts) has a PhD in English from Northwestern University on Restoration theatre and the new commodity markets. In 1996, she curated a series of cultural responses to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. These events, called Fault Lines included an art exhibition, a piece of theatre; a series of readings; a conference and a workshop for journalists covering the commission. This experience has prompted much of her ongoing interest in the representations of the sincere self, and the status of such an entity within the domains and discourses of global justice.
