The future of the humanities, philosopher Judith Butler argues, is bound up with two other questions, that of the future itself and that of humanity. The value of the humanities depends on its public futures, on interconnections of the arts and the humanities that are already evident forms of engagement and practice. That this is a familiar argument is part of its point; “is there any chance that the future of the humanities is not something utterly new, but resides as practice and potential in some of its current methods?” Butler asks rhetorically.Butler’s question about the futures of public humanities invites further reflection on the scholarly practices of humanities research now, and in its futures and its pasts.
This lecture draws on examples from English studies, medieval studies and the humanities, the three areas in which Lees conducts her work, to explore what the humanities in practice tell us about their potential at this critical juncture.
