Join us in CHAT for a Distinguished Faculty Lecture featuring Therese A. Dolan (Tyler School of Art). Dr. Dolan will be lecturing on "Sonic Politics: Manet's Street Singer."
"My account of Manet's Street Singer will focus on the auditory environment in which the figure is situated, tracing her urban taxonomy as a street type constructed by the visual, folkloric, and literary discourse drawn from the popular literature and illustrations of the time. By fixing her place within the iconography and sonography of street musicians, I investigate her urban identity as the marker of a subaltern voice, one that is culturally, economically, and pictorially distinct from singers at salons and the divas on the musical stages of Paris during the Second Empire."
