Floyd Kuptana and American Pop Culture : Close Readings of "Purpel Rain" and "Snoopy under Starry Sky" / by Richard D. Mohr

This is the recorded presentation with subtitles, and the original text file. The late, Arctic-born, Toronto-based Inuit artist Floyd Kuptana ― best known as a carver ― in his 2-D works, made several hunting and gathering forays deep into distinctively American pop culture. Richard D. Mohr is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and of the Classics at the University of Illinois. Over the last few years, he has been writing and lecturing on Inuit art and ethnography. He is an academically trained author with extensive journalistic experience and literary flair. He publishes books in three widely diverse fields: ancient Greek metaphysics, especially Plato’s; American ceramics, especially from the Arts & Crafts period; and gay studies along with queer theory, focusing on ethical, social, political, and legal issues."
