SHUM 4702
Silent Creation: Potential and Dilemmas

Course information provided by the 2024-2025 Catalog. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.

When you work, do you listen to music, or wear noise-cancelling headphones? Why? This course will examine historical choices for silence and interact with local practitioners of various crafts to interrogate whether there is a relationship between silence and creation. We will focus on both mental creativity and works of craft, pairing modern theory with ancient texts written by authors such as Augustine of Hippo and Gregory Nazianzus.
