The Falls
Cabinet, New York
'The Falls' a panel discussion featuring Emily Apter, Jeff Dolven, Alexander Nagel, and Jamieson Webster
In conjunction with its forthcoming issue's theme section, Cabinet magazine is inaugurating 'The Accident', a series of programs that will examine how the "accidental event" has been understood in the philosophical, cultural, and scientific imagination since early modernity. The first installment of this series will be 'The Falls' a panel discussion featuring Emily Apter, Jeff Dolven, Alexander Nagel, and Jamieson Webster, that will consider the condition of falling. Most falls occur without anyone noticing or caring, but the panel will turn our attention toward a number of falls that have been slowed down for consideration and passed down to posterity by writers and painters. 29 October 2014, 7-9 pm.
