Spyros Papapetros (Princeton University; Bard Graduate Center) will give a Brown Bag Lunch presentation on Thursday, September 26, at 12:15 pm. His talk is entitled, Warburg and World Ornament: An Ethnography of Spaces.

Based on Gottfried Semper’s formulation of “directional adornment (Richtungsschmuck),” this presentation examines ornament as an orientation device for navigating physical and epistemological spaces. The presentation draws from a recently completed book chapter analyzing a series of archival documents, including bibliographic notes, aphorisms, and correspondence, recording Aby Warburg’s encounter with the anthropological literature on Ornamentik, preceding the scholar’s first visit to Southwestern Pueblos in 1895.

This talk will take place in the Seminar Room at 38 West 86th Street and is open to the BGC community and invited guests. Please RSVP to alec.newell@bgc.bard.edu.
