What is this?
On Aging -
(Zoom presentation) What does it mean to age? What changes in and around us? Can we still recognize ourselves? How is aging described in literature, from Homer to Shakespeare and Cervantes, from Emily Dickinson to Jorge Luis Borges and Elizabeth Bishop? Is language even sufficient to describe the changes we experience?
