Communitas Lecture Series: Vance Byrd
Vance Byrd is a scholar of late-eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German literature who investigates how literary and print culture intersect with the history of visual media. He will be speaking about his current book project, Listening to Panoramas, which looks beyond statues to discover how panoramic forms played a pivotal role in transatlantic visual and sonic cultures of commemoration. Panoramas gave audiences around the world the opportunity to immerse themselves in stories about natural and urban landscapes as well as bloody battle scenes depicted on larger-than-life circular paintings. This book proposes that the emotions produced by the sonic and visual effects at panorama shows determine how the past is remembered and politicized. Furthermore, it investigates how Black artists have turned to the panoramic form to resist narratives about defeat and victory in the American Civil War and to reinscribe the history of the Black freedom struggles onto the medium.
The Communitas Lecture Series is a set of visiting artists, scholars, and design series. This series is free and open to the public!
