Back and Forth Over the Same Ground: The Use of Oral Narrative

Wednesday, February 15, 2023
4:45 pm
Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum auditorium

Dr. Daniel Prior reflects on oral narratives as epic poetry, history, and myth--on their concrete and fleeting qualities; on their status in humanistic study--retracing steps through Kirghiz tradition and heading into comparative deep history and digital research.

With a display of ancient bronzes from the Art Museum's collections and a reception afterward.
