How do we reckon with modern history’s traumas? How do the arts confront the fragmented and distancing narratives of violence presented in mass media? And how does art today conjure a psychic state that allows us to sense, question, and re-envision the collective stories of the present and past century?

This afternoon symposium explores these questions through literature, experimental theater, and visual art. Recorded Saturday, October 2, 2010, 1 pm.
