The School of Arts and Humanities, along with UT Dallas’ Center for Translation studies, is hosting award-winning translator, author and Metropolitan Museum of Art Publisher/Editor-in-Chief Mark Polizzotti for the latest installment of its lecture series, “The Future of the Arts and Humanities in Times of Crisis.” Polizzotti’s talk is entitled “Whom Shocks Who—Humanity and Humanities in an Age of Fear” and aims to interrogate the line between acceptable and unacceptable challenge in the arts, looking at questions such as, “What does it mean when a work of art or literature is deemed offensive, and is there a positive value to offense?

What role can the humanities play in a world increasingly averse to the challenges that art and literature often pose?
