Who was Mikhail Bakhtin and what was his legacy? A renowned Russian philosopher and literary critic who wrote in many disciplines, Bakhtin rose to fame after his death. Because he was not interested in writing a memoir, in spite of receiving encouragement to do so, we previously knew few details of his professional life. That began to change in 1973 when Viktor Duvakin taped six interviews (over twelve hours) with Mikhail Bakhtin. These interviews, recently translated and annotated by Dr. Slav Gratchev (Marshall University) and colleague Dr. Margarita Marinova (Christopher Newport University), serve as the “primary source of Bakhtin’s personal views: on formative moments in his education and exile; his reaction to the Revolution; and, his impressions of political, intellectual, and theatrical figures during the first two decades of the twentieth century.” Through these interviews, we are introduced to a “fuller, more flexible” Bakhtin – a man with a deep passion for poetry and music. Furthermore, his ideas an…

School of Music
The Marshall University School of Music continues its lecture series, MUsic Mondays, at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, at the Cellar Door, 905 3rd Ave. This lecture, “Dreams, Witches, and a Macabre Obsession: Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique,” will focus on the eccentric 19th-Century French composer Hector Berlioz and his Fantastic Symphony.
Lead presenter Vicki Stroeher, professor of music history at Marshall, said that Berlioz’s symphony is essentially an instrumental drama and illustrates the importance of subjectivity in 19th -Century music.
“Berlioz wrote his Symphonie Fantastique in what he called a ‘mental boil,’” Stroeher said. “He was obsessed with a woman who he thought unattainable, and so he wrote this symphony in an effort to impress her and win her over. Interestingly, it seemed to have worked.”
The 2019-2020 MUsic Monday series is titled “The B List” and explores composers whose surnames begin with “B.” culminating in the Fall of 2020 with an all-Beethoven series to commemorate the 250th an…

Governing Human Genome Editing in the Real World: A Public or Professional Challenge?
By John M. Conley, JD, PhD
Oct. 25,
Noon
Drinko Library, Room 402
Dr. Conley will discuss governance efforts related to the emerging genome editing technologies, exploring “hard law” regulatory approaches, both national and international, versus “soft” self-regulatory approaches that are based in traditional notions of scientific professionalism.
Conley is William Rand Kenan, Jr. Professor of Law at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. He teaches civil procedure, intellectual property, and the law of biotechnology, and has written several books and numerous articles on genomics and the law, the law of intellectual property as applied to emerging technologies, scientific evidence, and other topics in law and science.
Light lunch will be served.
All are welcome.
Sponsored by the Department of Sociology & Anthropology and Biomedical Sciences.
