"What I find more fascinating, and what I find more interesting in my work over the last years, is the way in which 20th century modernists rediscovered the very practice that we encounter in many traditions that we call mystical." In his Faculty Research Lecture, Professor Niklaus Largier explores his research on the history of emotions, of the senses, and of the imagination, particularly in the Middle Ages and the early modern era. See a recording of the lecture at https://gobears.me/3OYtroH #UCBerkeley #FacultyResearch Video description: Professor Niklaus Largier stands in front of a podium with a mic speaking to a crowd off-screen. Then, a slideshow of a few materials he shared on a presentation play on screen: a photo of Dadaist Hugo Ball in 1916, Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition IV" painting from 1911, Hilma af Klint's "Untitled #1" from 1915, and the cover of Clarise Linspector's book, "The Passion According to G.H."
