SUMMARY:Kairos: Angels and Animals - Franz Kafka and Walter Benamin
DESCRIPTION:The library is sponsoring a series of discussions with Denis 
 Sweet\, a former teacher at Bates College\, investigating our current 
 moment by making use of contemporary and classic writings in literature\, 
 social criticism\, biology\, and philosophy. Meetings will be on Tuesday 
 mornings at 10AM in the library's Howard Room from September 2 to December 
 2. \n\nKairos – a time of impending danger and instability balanced on a 
 knife’s edge that can tip into disaster or into a new resolution. Kairos 
 is a time that demands clarity of mind -- our time. To gird ourselves\, we 
 study foundational classic and contemporary writings in philosophy\, 
 literature\, social criticism\, and ecology.\n\nAngels and Animals: Franz 
 Kafka and Walter Benjamin\nWhat messages do angels and animals convey? We 
 investigate Kafka’s animal stories and Benjamin’s ‘angel of 
 history.’ Our discussions will include readings\, experiential 
 exercises\, and two movies.\n\nTo facilitate discussion\, the number of 
 participants is limited to twelve. Registration can be done through the 
 library's online calendar. For more information\, please email Assistant 
 Director Kayleigh Thomas at kayleigh.thomas@bhpl.net or call 374-5515. \n
