Paul's Call: Cymbeline's Calling
Start Date: 3/15/2012Start Time: 12:00 PM
End Date: 3/15/2012End Time: 1:45 PM

Event Description
Paul's Call; Cymbeline's Calling," brings Shakespeare's late romance "Cymbeline" together with the writings of St. Paul and Max Weber's lecture (later essay), Politik als Beruf, pointing up both the literary and the political-theological double valences of “calling." Looking back to Shakespeare's earliest plays as well as forward to an off-stage, post- political afterlife, disrupted by a nominal sacrifice that may not, ultimately, matter, "Cymbeline" both gives us a Pauline heroine who embodies all the contradictions such an idea entails, and models a modern uneasiness with the "return" of theology in the realms of philosophy, politics, and literary criticism.
