Driving us forward as a species, compelling us to look back and learn from the past, forming our conceptions of science and religion, the notion of TIME has fascinated and puzzled humankind since its earliest beginnings. In recognition of the Chicago Humanities Festival’s 15th anniversary in 2004, we celebrate – through the perspective of the arts and humanities – the notion of TIME and its ongoing impact on our endeavors, passions, and beliefs.
Festival topics this fall include: the “ages of mankind” from pre-adult to extended old age; the role of ancestry, heritage, and legacy in the forging of individual identity; current scientific thinking on the shape and direction of time; fantasy, science fiction, and alternative experiences of time in fiction; selected annals in the history of radical movements; "doing time" behind bars or in other forms of captivity; finding "sacred time" in our accelerated existence; the history of timekeeping; the appeal of memoirs, diaries, and historical fiction; and the myriad other expressions of TIME in music, philosophy, art, film, performance, anthropology, archaeology, public policy, philosophy, popular culture, and other disciplines. |
