- **Event Name**: “The Topographic Imaginary” with Dr. Ari Blatt
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Tue, 24 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: The Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures — with support from the College of Arts and Sciences Billy and Del Hunt Helton Faculty Excellence Fund and Office of International Programs — invites the public to a free lecture by Dr. Ari Blatt on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at 5 p.m. in Plemmons Student Union 417 (Beacon Heights).

Blatt will give an interdisciplinary lecture that crosses disciplines from literature to fine arts. He touches on literature, photography, walking, and writing as we begin attending to space and place, finding beauty in the banal. Building on The Topographic Imaginary, Blatt encourages us to think about everyday environments — both natural and manmade — at the intersection of image and memory, history, and affect.

Part of the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures International Speaker Series, “The Topographic Imaginary: Art and the Environs of Greater Paris” is free and open to the public. For a disability accommodation, visit odr.appstate.edu.

Questions can be directed to the organizers: Dr. Benito Del Pliego (delpliegob@appstate.edu) and Dr. Stephanie Tsakeu Mazan (tsakeumazansd@appstate.edu).
