In the spring of 2015 I received an invitation to Aarhus University to speak on Péladan’s literature and “esoteric modernism” at a closed symposium with scholars doing some incredibly exciting work in this area, breaking new ground on possible interdisciplinary approaches between the disciplines of literary studies, art history, and esoteric studies.
This was quickly followed by a second invitation to Gothenburg University to deliver a guest lecture- also on Péladan. But this one came with an extra bonus: a further invitation to prepare a touring exhibition and accompanying artist lecture for two further venues in Sweden. See my personal website for more details about the Aarhus conference, where my paper “Return from Oblivion: Péladan’s Literary Esotericism” was very well received, and also for more information on my art and lecture tour in Sweden, where I delivered an extended version of this paper as a guest lecturer at Gothenburg University, and artist lectures in Gothenburg and Lund on Greek Orthodox Mysticism alongside the exhibitions of my work.
Update 2016: The papers from the Esoteric Modernism conference at Aarhus are due for publication with a well-known academic press. Announcements will follow in due course.
