identity

I was very much looking forward to the first of the Sydney University Evening Sessions this year, on the topic of “Selfhood across the ages” and it did not fail to provide encouraging fellowship, stimulating talks, and worthwhile reflections on and beyond the self. Andrew Cooper (Philosophy) spoke on the classical tragedy of Antigone, Brad Wells (English) discussed Charles Williams’ egalitarian hierarchy as exemplified in the TV series, The West Wing and Rosie Findlay (Performance Studies) spoke on the construction of self in fashion style blogs.
