Hey everyone! Heres an event you all might be interested in attending :) Dear Critical Theory Club Members: This semester, the PCC English Honors Program is hosting a seminar series on Walter Benjamin’s “Theological-Political Fragment.” Please consider attending. This series will be particularly interesting for students majoring in English, Philosophy, Religious Studies, and other Humanities majors. All attendees should read Benjamin’s text beforehand. Here is a link to the text: . The first seminar session will take place on January 29th: Thursday, Jan. 29th, Noon-12:55pm in Harbeson Hall Professor Oventile, “Nothing Political: Reading Benjamin’s ‘Theological-Political Fragment’ Today” Besides reading the text, attending students should consider the following questions: --How do the theological and the political overlap? --What are the meanings and referents of the term “messiah”? --What are the meanings and referents of the term “nihilism”? --Is “terrorism” a form of “nihilism”? Hope to see you there! Dr. Oventile
