DESCRIPTION:Free and open to everyone. No registration required.\n\nMellon
  CDI Visiting Fellow Professor Marjorie Garber (William R Kenan Jr Profess
 or of English and Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University)\
 , will give an open lecture.\n\nWhatever happened to “influence studies
 ”? With its impassioned vision of an Oedipal struggle between older poet
 s and newer ones\, influence was a critical and theoretical watchword in t
 he late twentieth century. But after the advent of the Internet\, e-resear
 ch\, and Google searches\, such contestatory terms have fallen out of fash
 ion\, and seem now almost quaint or obsolete. In an era where “truth” 
 and “reality” seem up for grabs\, it may be time to reconsider what is
  at stake\, then and now\, in claims about poetic influence\, originality\
 , and the making of art.\n\n
