McGillicuddy Humanities Center Newsletter, March 2025

inscriptions on a lost colossus.Reading and writing resurrect these "corceles en la luz," stallions in the light, miraculously reanimated and given solid form by our pens, our keyboards, our eyes, and our fingertips.The McGillicuddy Humanities Center's 2025-2026 Symposium will delve into this uneven but continuous history, from the proto-writing of ancient commerce to modern graphic design and the autofill on our phones.We'll welcome scholars, poets, and artists to UMaine throughout the academic year for lectures, screenings, workshops, and class visits to explore the rich material culture of reading and writing.
