The University of Silesia in Katowice, Metropolis GZM and Silesian Library encourage to participate in seminars for students and open lectures conducted by Prof. John Matteson from the City University of New York (CUNY), a Pulitzer Prize winner.
“Melville, Douglass, and the Literature of Slave Mutiny”
Slave rebellions, almost always brutally suppressed, inspired authors, especially those with a democratic mindset. Prof. Matteson’s lecture is dedicated to the most important texts based on the real events that inspired a wide audience to reflect on the cruelty of law which legitimated slavery, and therefore justified the inhuman treatment of the Other.
