Event description:
Scott Herring, “Experimental Aging and U.S. Modernisms”
This talk rehearses core arguments from my recent book, Aging Moderns: Art, Literature, and the Experiment of Later Life (Columbia University Press, 2022). Canvassing artists,
performers, and writers such as Mabel Hampton, Indra B. Tamang, and Tillie Olsen, my research illuminates how old age informed experimental aesthetics across the American century.
