MML-Montréal presents: Jeremy Stolow “The Spiritual Nervous System”

MML presents: The Spiritual Nervous System by Jeremy Stolow. EV 11.705. Sept. 26, 2008. 1–3 PM.

Jeremy Stolow has just taken up a new position in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University.  A social theorist by training, Jeremy’s research is focussed on religion and media, an emergent interdisciplinary field of study.

This talk is part of a larger, SSHRC-funded project investigating the origins and spread of Spiritualism in the context of the Atlantic world in the latter half of the nineteenth century. It traces some of the ways Spiritualist imagination, ritual practice, and institution-building related to the dramatic processes of technological change during this period, focussing in particular on the introduction and spread of telegraphy.
