The Progressive Revolution in Politics and Political Science: Transforming the American RegimeJohn A. Marini, Ken Masugi Songs Beyond Mankind: Poetry and the Lager from Dante to Primo Levi is the eighteenth in a series of publications occasioned by the annual Bernardo Lecture at the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CEMERS) at Binghamton University. This series offers public lectures that have been given by distinguished medieval and Renaissance scholars on topics and figures representative of these two important historical, religious, and intellectual periods. Professor Pertile s lecture, Songs Beyond Mankind, asks whether there is a degree of suffering and degradation beyond which a man or woman ceases to be a human being, a point beyond which our soul dies and what survives is pure physiology. And, if yes, to what extent may literature be capable of preserving our humanity in the face of unspeakable pain? These are some of the issues that this lecture addresses by considering two systems of suffering, the hells described by Dante in his "Inferno" and Primo Levi in "Survival in Auschwitz." |
