DESCRIPTION:Please join German Studies Lecture Series for How Do You Dance
  a Cabinet of Curiosities? A conversation with Professor Jutta Eming (Fre
 ie Universität Berlin).\n\nAs a collection and exhibition convention\, a 
 Cabinet of Curiosity or Wunderkammer is regarded as a historical intermed
 iate stage between the medieval treasury and the modern museum. It was wi
 despread throughout Europe from the 16th to 18th century until its holdin
 gs began to be distributed to newly founded natural history\, art\, or et
 hnological museums in the 18th and 19th century. Taking a recent choreogr
 aphy as a starting point\, this talk introduces the view that the Wunderk
 ammer is not primarily an early modern form of collection\, but a cultura
 l-historical phenomenon that spans epochs and is part of a continuum of d
 iscourses on the marvelous. This includes the fact that the Wunderkammer 
 has obviously become a broader cultural studies topic and forms a referen
 ce for a variety of recent academic and non-academic trends. In premodern
  times these cabinets constitute a European view of the world with curios
 ity in “monstrous” races on its margins\, and a practice of perception in
  which narration\, appropriation\, collecting\, and presentation are clos
 ely linked. In recent times this interest in curiosity has flipped in ema
 ncipatory ways: The Wunderkammer now seems to provide a space in which hu
 mans negotiate the limits of binary identity and redefine their place in 
 the world.\n\nRSVP for the Jutta Eming event here.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.ap
