Study Groups and Interdisciplinary Research Projects
The CEP hosts a growing community of research groups and projects, initiated and organized by affliated students and faculty.
expanded poetics: romantic, modernist, contemporary
Supported by a 4-year SSHRC Insight Grant, this project will historicize contemporary interdisciplinarity through the lens of poetics, situating it in relation to Jena Romanticism’s concept of Poesie as a unity of the arts and sciences and in relation to modernist practices of inter-arts experimentation.
risograph printing projects
Collaborating with students and groups to create exploratory print media. Risography situates text and image at the intersection of digital technology and screen printing.
cinepoetics research group
The Cinepoetics Research Group explores relationships between poetic language and cinematic images through weekly screenings and discussions. Organized by Robin Graham.
