DALLAS INSTITUTE FELLOWS

BEGINNINGS

Dr. James Hillman, who passed away last year, was a Founding Fellow of the Dallas Institute and the originator of Archetypal Psychology. As a context and platform for continuing to study his original work, the Institute will inaugurate this Fall an annual program focusing on his thought and imagination. This first year, other Founding Fellows will be featured: Dr. Robert Sardello as keynote presenter, along with Drs. Louise Cowan, Joanne Stroud, and Gail Thomas.

We are pleased to announce Unbinding Prometheus, the new web journal of the Dallas Institute. The journal gets its name most directly from the book title of one of the Institute’s founders, Dr. Donald Cowan, a physicist by profession who had poetry in his bones. As President, he and Dr. Louise Cowan, another Dallas Institute founder, raised the University of Dallas to intellectual prominence and created within it a remarkable core curriculum the likes of which are rarely seen today. And as the Cowans were building the University of Dallas, it was in turn incubating and nourishing the work of the Institute’s four other founders: Drs. Gail Thomas, Joanne Stroud, James Hillman, and Robert Sardello. It is the purpose of Unbinding Prometheus to explore and extend the work begun by the Institute’s founders—which is the work of culture, nothing more or less. The new journal will be up and running September 1st at www.unbindingprometheus.com.

Also in its planning phase is a new Adult Education program co-created by the Institute and the University of Dallas. The proposed program will expand the Institute’s existing offerings in a new curriculum of non-credit evening courses in the Humanities for adults, emphasizing the liberal tradition in Western civilization and the creative influence of the world’s cultures. The non-degree program will lead to a certificate in study of the Western intellectual tradition. Dr. Bainard Cowan of the University of Dallas and Institute Director Dr. Larry Allums will co-direct the program and invite UD faculty and Institute Fellows to teach. Early signs of the new curriculum emphasizing classic texts, both ancient and modern, will be evident this Fall and Spring at the Institute, with the program’s official launch set for Fall 2013.

Finally, another annual Institute event worthy of special note is the awarding of the Hiett Prize in the Humanities, the 8th time the $50,000 prize has been presented to a person in the early stages of a career in the humanities.The public presentation of the 2012 winner will occur at the Institute on Friday evening, October 19th. 1

THE 1ST ANNUAL JAMES HILLMAN LECTUREPresented by Dr. Robert Sardellowith Dr. Louise Cowan, Dr. Joanne Stroud, and Dr. Gail Thomas

As a Founding Fellow and faculty member, James Hillman was instrumental in the creation of the Dallas Institute, which still resonates with his influence. Dr. Hillman’s contributions to culture were many and pro-found, none more singular or likely to last than his for-mulation of Archetypal Psychology, which he named

in 1970 and continued to develop until his death on October 27th of last year. To honor, commemorate, and continue to learn from Dr. Hillman, the Institute initiates with this lecture an annual program aimed at descending into the rich depths of his work—in his own words, a “psychology delib-erately affiliated with the arts, culture, and the history of ideas, arising as they do from the imagination.” Saturday, 6:30-8 pm: October 13. Reception at 6 pmAdmission: Members $25, Nonmembers $40, Member Teachers $10

HOW TO READ LITERATURE, AND WHY IT MATTERSPresentation by Dr. Louise Cowan, with discussion following

Over the past half century, Founding Fellow Dr. Louise Cowan has taught and written about literature—how properly to inhabit the mundus imaginalis, the “world of the imagination,” and why doing so is crucial to the flourishing of culture. At the heart of her literary career is a meticulously developed “genre theory,”

culminated in the recent publication of The Prospect of Lyric by Dallas Institute Publications. During this program, Dr. Cowan will speak about literature and the poetic imagination in the context of her theory of genres. Also with us will be contributors to the other three volumes on genre—The Terrain of Comedy (1984), The Epic Cosmos (1992), and The Tragic Abyss (2003).

Saturday, 6:30-8 pm: September 8. Reception at 6 pmAdmission: Members $10, Nonmembers $20, Member Teachers $5

THE 8TH ANNUAL HIETT LECTURE

The annual Hiett Prize in the Humanities, endowed by philanthropist and Institute Board member Kim Hiett Jordan, is at $50,000 the largest award of its kind in the nation, given to a person in the early stages of a career in the Humanities. Join us as the 2012 Hiett winner presents a public lecture and meets Institute members and friends.

DALLAS INSTITUTE OPEN HOUSE

The Institute opens its doors with a reception and program featuring Institute Fellows. In the spotlight this Fall is Dr. Guy Story Brown, who leads the Institute’s Routh Street Irregulars, a monthly group charting America’s political tradition. Dr. Brown will speak about the current political situation, and the evening will conclude with drawings for events and books.

Wednesday, 6-8 pm: September 19. Wine reception at 6 pm; program at7 pm. Please RSVP by Sep. 17.

X-EVENTS: A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTUREAn evening with Dr. John Casti

Dr. John Casti’s new book X-Events: the Collapse of Everything sounds apocalyptic, but it actually aims at enlightening us about extreme events in the human sphere, which he describes as “human nature’s way of reducing a complexity overload that has become unsustainable.” His bracing insights about “outlier

events” are provocative advances toward what he calls a much-needed “theory of surprise”: a consideration of where our increasingly complex way of life is taking us.

CLASSES

TOLSTOY’S ANNA KARENINADr. Claudia Allums

“All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way,” goes the famous first sentence of Tolstoy’s second major novel, Anna Karenina. Also written in what Tolstoy called the “realist” mode, it is not epic like War and Peace, but it involves a grand passion that portrays one of the only truly tragic heroines in modern literature, and what feels like a prophetic understanding of what the Romantic heart would reap in the modern world. The novel also does what only novels seem to be able to do; it weaves equal threads of the tragic and comic genres in one overriding narrative. We will discuss George Gibian’s translation: Book I, Part I, Chapter I—Book I, Part II, Chapter XXVI in the first class. Four Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30 pm: September 11 & 25, October 2 & 9Tuition: Members $90, Nonmembers $105, Member Teachers $30Norton Critical Edition, ISBN: 0-393—96642-9

VIRGIL’S AENEIDDr. Bainard Cowan

Tasked with writing Rome’s epic during a crucial moment in world history, Virgil knew he had to reawaken a sense of something higher in life—something that one could fight and die for—in a literary audience of skeptics and part-time philosophers exhausted from a century of internecine war and terror. With unerring genius, Virgil “divined at a decisive hour of the world what the future would love” (Ste.-Beuve): self-sacrifice, passion, devotion to duty,

decisiveness in the midst of uncertainty, sympathy—and much more. The Aeneid, the epic poem of Western civilization, is the quintessential poem for adults. How will we regard it in our time, which seems yet another crucial moment in history?

Four Thursdays, 6:30-8:30 pm: October 4, 11, 25 & November 1Tuition: Members $90, Nonmembers $105, Member Teachers $30

RITING MYTH, MYTHIC RITING: A WRITING RETREATConducted by Dr. Dennis Patrick Slattery

“A myth includes a way, a via or roadway, a path, that allows things of the world to present themselves to me in a particu-lar style of intellectual and emotional presence.” So writes Dr. Slattery in his new book Riting Myth, Mythic Writing: Plotting Your Personal Story, which contains entries from past Institute sessions, as well as others in the U.S. and Europe. With new meditations, Dr. Slattery will lead us in discovering what myth guides us and how we can learn to become more conscious of the deep forces in the psyche that seek expression in our thoughts and actions.

December 7-9: Fri. 6-8 pm; Sat. 9 am-12:30 pm, 2-5 pm; Sun. 9 am-1 pmTuition: Members $105, Nonmembers $120, Member Teachers $55

BERNIE: INSIDE THE LIFE OF SMALL-TOWN TEXASAn evening with Skip Hollandsworth

If you relished the hit film Bernie, with its script by bona fide Texans Skip Hollandsworth and Richard Linklater, there’s plenty more to be said about the Texas it portrays—according to Hollandsworth. Based on his 1998 Texas Monthly article “Midnight in the Garden of East Texas,” the

recent movie about a murder in Carthage is very dark, very comic, and very authentic. Join Skip Hollandsworth for inside stories about the film and a chance to talk Texas with a genuine, closely observant native writer.

Friday, 7-8:30 pm: November 2; Chili, Shiners, and Music at 6 pmAdmission: Members $25, Nonmembers $35, Member Teachers $10

ON EPIC Dr. Frederick Turner

Within the remarkable variety of Prof. Turner’s thirty books, one can discern his abiding interest in the epic, from Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey to comic books with their superheroes to science fiction, which he himself has written. His most recent book, Epic: Form, Content, and History, maintains that epic continues to be the most vital literary form—in fact the source and origin of all others. He will speak about epic literature, read from his poetry and prose, and sign copies of his latest work.

ROUTH STREET IRREGULARS:MAPPING AMERICA’S POLITICAL TRADITIONDr. Guy Story Brown

In a recent column, David Brooks ponders “what this election is about: Is the 20th-century model [of government] obsolete, or does it just need rebalancing? Is Obama oblivious to this historical moment or are Republicans overly radical, risky and impractical?” As the political climate heats up in the Fall, the Routh Street Irregulars under the guidance of Dr. Guy Story Brown will continue charting the course that the U.S. has taken to our point in history—and its likely direction in the future. Texts for discussion will range from Book I of Plato’s Republic to Presidential “Farewell Addresses” such as Washington’s in 1796 and Eisenhower’s in 1961, as well as other key documents.

Four Thursdays, 6:30-8:30 pm:September 20, October 18, November 15 & December 13Tuition: Members $80, Nonmembers $90, Member Teachers $30Per evening: $25, $30 & $10

SPEAKING OF MOVIES…Dr. Scott Churchill and Dr. Larry Allums

“You know what your problem is; it’s that you haven’t seen enough movies. All of life’s riddles are answered in the movies.” --Steve Martin

If you’re a serious movie fan looking for the right kind of people with whom to talk about currently playing films, you should give this Institute group a

try. Members meet monthly with film expert and psychologist Dr. Scott Churchill, who guides movie selections and, along with Institute Director Dr. Larry Allums, leads the conversations. The final meeting will be for dinner-and-a-classic-movie (chosen by Dr. Churchill) at the Institute.

COLOR WORDS: WRITING OF COLOR THE RENAISSANCE WAYProf. Mary Vernon

Pablo Neruda said: “When he wrote his blue book wasn’t Rubén Darío green? Wasn’t Rimbaud scarlet, Góngora a shade of violet? And Victor Hugo tricolored? And I yellow ribbons?”

After a lengthy hiatus, SMU Art Professor and Institute Fellow Mary Vernon is back in the Institute classroom. Under Prof. Vernon’s synesthetic direction, class members will both converse and compose, following the Renaissance scholar Thylesius in seeing and writing with color as exact and perceptive language. When Antonio Telesio (Thylesius) wrote on color words in 1528, he helped his contemporaries gain precision and elegance in composing Latin poetry and prose. He could write of a cucumber that it held hints of the blue of heaven. Telesio’s categories – red, green, blue and earth gray – are the same RGB we speak of today in color perception. Join Prof. Vernon for a literally colorful four weeks.

Four Tuesdays, 6:30-8 pm: October 16-November 6Tuition: Members $70, Nonmembers $85, Member Teachers $25Text: Antonio Telesio, On Colour, 1528. ISBN-13: 978-1581125801

SHAKESPEARE’S HISTORY PLAYSDr. Larry Allums

Rare is the poet who writes all the four kinds of poetry first designated by Aristotle: lyric, tragedy, comedy, and epic. One of those few is Shakespeare, whose tragedies, comedies, and lyric sonnets are well known. Less celebrated are his history plays, in which the material is epic and the protagonist more England than any historical figure. In fact, like any epic poet, Shakespeare often uses history to suit his

own narrative purposes, and in his so-called “Second Tetralogy” of plays–Richard II, Henry IV, Parts 1&2, and Henry V–he spans the rule of three kings, depicts bloody battles, creates perhaps the greatest comic character of all time in Falstaff, and ushers us from the Middle Ages into our own modern world of Machiavellian realpolitik.

Four Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30 pm: November 27-December 18Tuition: Members $90, Nonmembers $105, Member Teachers $30Plays (any edition): Richard II, Henry IV Parts 1 & 2, and Henry V

BREAKFAST & LUNCH BOOK GROUPSDr. Larry Allums

“To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful, ready always to apprehend in the flow of language the sudden flash of poetry.” These words of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard, many of whose works the Dallas Institute has translated and published, could stand as the ideal of our book groups. We will look for beauty this Fall in the selections below.

FRIDAY NIGHT SALONModerated by Dr. Larry Allums

Writer Margaret Wheatley believes that speaking with one another is among the most basic human gifts, one practiced all too rarely in our fast-paced, sound-byte age: “When we think about beginning a conversation, we can take courage from the fact that this is a process we all know how to do. We are reawakening an ancient practice, a way of being together that all humans intimately understand.” The Institute’s Friday Night Salon is a haven for those who believe similarly—that the simple gestures of listening carefully and speaking civilly are still an important source of pleasure and meaning. Join the Salon community: good food and drink—and talking together.

LOUISE AND DONALD COWAN CENTER FOR EDUCATION

NEW PROGRAM: COMMUNITASCommunitas is a term borrowed from anthropologist Victor Turner, to denote what Dr. Louise Cowan calls a “deliberately orchestrated event in which participants can recover the common ground of their humanity.” Humanity—on both sides of the desk—is at risk in our current educational system. Teachers and administrators serving Pre-K—12 students need opportunities to gather in communitas for the purpose of renewal and creative exchange. No preparation is required. We will read and discuss provocative excerpts from works in the humanities as well as passages from current works on teaching, learning, and education.

Second Monday of the month, September through December, 6:30-8:30 pm Dallas Institute Members: $10, Non-Institute Members: $15Includes wine and cheese reception

ONE-DAY CONFERENCE FOR PRE-K—12 TEACHERSOUT OF THE CAVE: ON LEARNING FROM A PHILOSOPHER,A PHYSICIST, AND THE POETSLearning, we assume, is the fundamental outcome of an education, but it is not a given, nor as simple as it seems. Teachers are mostly trained in how to teach and in how students process material, but learning—its purpose and its mode—are not as commonly considered. In this conference, we will deepen our professional sensibilities by exploring purposes of learning with different lenses through lectures, seminars, writing, and plenary discussions. Pre-reading is required and will be sent upon paid registration. (CPE credit is awarded for this program.)

Saturday, September 29, 8:30 am-4 pmInstitute Members, $85; Non-Institute Members, $100 Fee includes: book anmaterials, breakfast, lunch, and breakout session snacks. Please register by August 30.

THE DALLAS INSTITUTEOF HUMANITIES AND CULTUREexists to care for the actual things of the urban world. In some instances, these things are visible—the city, education, architecture, medicine, art, technology, money. Equally important are the invisible forms within which life takes place and has meaning—friendship, the soul, taste, imagination, community, intellectual life, ritual, leadership. Through its courses of study, public seminars, publications, conferences, and civic involvement, The Dallas Institute brings thought, imagination, language, and sensibility to bear on the convergence between the visible shaping of the world and the permanent values necessary for the crafting of culture.
