Join International House and the Committee on Southern Asian Studies (COSAS) for the Vivekananda Lecture by Francesca Orsini, Professor Emerita SOAS & Vivekananda Visiting Professor, Department of South Asian Languages and Civilizations, University of Chicago. Orsini will explore literary history from a multilingual perspective. Drawing on geographer Doreen Massey’s definition of space as “the multiplicity of stories and trajectories so far” and on her recent book East of Delhi: Multilingual Literary Culture and World Literature, this talk employs space heuristically and at different levels to rethink literary history from a multilingual perspective.

This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
