Colloquia

Spring 2018 MED Colloquium

John Durham Peters

Weather and its media

John Durham Peters

Organized by second-year MED students in collaboration with the director of the MED program, this year’s colloquium entitled “Of Other Natures” explores alternative nature-culture relationships and seeks to provoke different perspectives towards architectural and environmental design.

John Durham Peters is the María Rosa Menocal Professor of English and of Film & Media Studies at Yale University. A media historian and social theorist, he has authored a number of noted scholarly works. His first book Speaking into the Air: A History of the Idea of Communication which traces out broad historical, philosophical, religious, cultural, legal, and technological contexts for the study of communication. His second book Courting the Abyss: Free Speech and the Liberal Tradition updates the philosophy of free expression with a history of liberal thought since Paul of Tarsus. His most recent book The Marvelous Clouds: Toward a Philosophy of Elemental Media radically rethinks how media are environments and environments are also media. He has held fellowships with the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Fulbright Foundation, and the Leverhulme Trust.
