Burlington College's Genese Grill, Ph.D. Gives Lecture at Harvard

Dr. Genese Grill, Burlington College faculty and the Assistant Director of the Institute for Civic Engagement, gave a Harvard Humanities Lecture on "Ethics, Aesthetics, and Mysticism in Robert Musil's Man Without Qualities" on December 5th at Harvard University. A longer version of the talk, entitledThe Other Musil. Vivisecteur as Experimental Assembleur: Union of Opposites, Individuation, and the Mystics of Time in Robert Musil's The Man Without Qualities will be printed as a chapter in The Musil Companion (2006), edited by Philip Payne and published by Camden House. Robert Musil (1880–1942) was an experimental modernist, a physicist, engineer, behavioural psychologist, novelist, playwrite, and essayist, whose magnum opus, The Man Without Qualities, is considered one of the most important novels (along with Proust's Remembrance of Things Passed and Joyce's Ulysses) of the 20th century.
