These and other topics will be discussed during a series of four Saturday morning conversations about the influences of popular culture on life and art presented by The Ohio State University's College of Humanities and the Wexner Center for the Arts. This talk examines two claims that suggest that art is communicative in nature and has meaning, from the perspective of contemporary research in linguistics and the philosophy of religion. The second presentation, to be held Oct. 28, will feature Assistant Professor Lee Brown of the Department of Philosophy who will discuss visual art in its transition from high modernism to the post modernism of the 1960s. The concluding lecture, on Nov. 18, will feature Associate Professor Emeritus Dan Barnes of the Department of English who will look at the traditional humor of folk and popular culture.
