| dc.description.abstract | To study the present, one needs to keep in mind that the present is not fixed or inevitable, but it is always in the process of becoming or, as Harrison concludes, “it is active and ripe with potential.” This practicum is an itinerary that takes you through another life, a long journey in which you can understand the mortality, vulnerability, and mutability of the world we live in. You will be asked to push your imagination beyond its power to travel into the past, present, and future or as Yablon argues “to the ends of the earth.” Exploring ruins reminds us of the transient nature of life and that “everything comes to nothing, everything perishes, everything passes.” | en_US |
