There is currently a vigorous debate in film studies and related disciplines about the extent to which scientific paradigms like evolutionary psychology and neuroscience can explain the cinema and other artforms. This debate tends to devolve into extreme positions, with many film scholars and other humanists insisting that science has little or no role to play in the study of the arts, while a minority contends that it is always needed to fully account for cultural phenomena like film. Malcolm Turvey is the Sol Gittleman Professor of the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Tufts University. He is also the director and founder of Film and Media Studies Program. All are welcome. Light will be refreshments served.
