UPEI academic partner for Doug Coupland Massey Lecture, October 19
UPEI is pleased to be the academic partner for CBC's upcoming 2010 Massey Lecture, on October 19, by celebrated Canadian author and artist, Douglas Coupland. It takes place in the Confederation Centre of the Arts, beginning at 8:00 pm. President Wade MacLauchlan will introduce Douglas Coupland.
A cultural commentator with international impact, Coupland presents this year's lectures in the form of a novel, Player One. What is to Become of Us. The novel and lecture together present a story set over five hours in an airport lounge which asks; at what point do humans stop being humans and become something else? Where, if anywhere, do modernity and classical theology overlap? What is time? What is the human essence? And how does storytelling fit into all of this?
Tickets are on sale through the Confederation Centre Box Office at 566-1267. They cost $25.10 regular/ $13:55 for students.
