Jim Kincaid is the Aerol Arnold Chair of English at the Unievrsity of Southern California. His talk, entitled “Childhood, Death, and the Forms of Tragedy,” will be in Alumni Center (in the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance building) at 7:00pm, Wednesday, March 14. The talk will address modern forms of tragedy in literature, film, and culture as they connect to likely areas such as death, suffering, and redemption, as well as unlikely ones, such as joy, necessity, and childhood. The talk explores the possibility that going home, the impulse to return, is linked to our desire to lose our lonely individuality and merge into a larger whole, a desire located both in nostalgia and a longing for death. Kincaid is the author of two books on childhood, including the groundbreaking Child-Loving: the Erotic Child in Victorian Culture. He is also the author of books on Dickens, Tennyson, and Anthony Trollope. With the acclaimed fiction writer Percival Everett, Kincaid co-authored the savagely satiricalThe History of the African-American People (Proposed), as Told to Percival Everett and James Kincaid. You can download a poster for the even there.
