January 2007 Feature: High Lines
High LinesAs part of our continuing association with PROFESSOR KENNETH WHITE - which started in 2005 with his appointment as HI~Arts' first International Fellow - we are very pleased to publish for the first time the text of Prof. White's annual lecture at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, 2006 (EIBF). |
|
| Prof. White's annual EIBF lectures are established as a vital part of the festival's programme – and for many, a key date in the calendar of Scottish cultural life, providing in broad strokes both a challenge to and a vision of the future of Scottish culture. |
|
| The 2006 lecture is entitled, 'Along the High Lines – Figuring out the way towards a world culture', and takes as its starting point the themes of 'world-writing' Prof White elucidated in his 2005 lecture at EIBF, (published in 'On The Atlantic Edge' by Sandstone Press (Dingwall) in 2006, along with lectures from the HI~Arts International Fellowship series). As prof. White states in the 2006 lecture: |
|
| 'Right at the end of that talk [2005] on the notion of world-writing, I knew I wanted to pick up again from there, come back on the theme of 'world', extending the notion of world-writing, which was seeing things from a literary point of view, to that of world-culture, that is, seeing things from a general point of view.' |
