Scope and Content Note
Wole Soyinka, the Nobel Laureate for Literature in 1986, is a distinguished dramatist, poet, autobiographer, and cultural
critic. Born in Nigeria and educated in both his native country and Britain, Soyinka first came to prominence in the 1960s
as a dissident artist-activist, whose plays and improvised street theater attacked the follies and cruelties of Africa's early
post-colonial leaders. In the years since, Soyinka's work has continued to act as the outspoken conscience to a succession
of oppressive regimes in Nigeria as well as other African states, and he has consequently suffered periods of both political
imprisonment and exile. Beyond Soyinka's role as the socially engaged man-of-letters, he is also an influential teacher, having
taught at a number of universities in Africa as well as in Britain and the United States. Today Soyinka is the Robert W. Woodruff
Professor of the Arts at Emory University in Atlanta. Soyinka was on campus from November 30 through December 1, 1998. His
lecture "Contemporary Literature and the Future of the Humanities and Arts" was presented at Stanford's Kresge Auditorium

Fredric Jameson is an internationally renowned Marxist critic. Presently the William A. Lane Professor of Comparative Literature

and is today best known for the essays collected in Postmodernism, or The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (1991), which
diagnose late twentieth-century culture as a symptom of the new global economy. Methodologically eclectic, Jameson's critical
thought yields unusually subtle studies of aesthetic production, ranging from avant-garde literature and corporate architecture
to popular films and video art. Jameson was on campus January 25-26, 1999. He spoke on "Aesthetic Autonomy in the Age of Late
Capitalism" at the School of Law, Room 290 on January 25 at 7:00 p.m.

Scope and Content Note
Marjorie Garber is one of the rare intellectuals whose work has had a significant resonance in both academic and popular culture.
Writing on a wide variety of topics, from Shakespeare to "Charlotte's Web," she has demonstrated both a keen analysis of cultural
productions and a flair for the intriguing anecdote. In its wide-ranging breadth, her work is most often concerned with the
construction of identity in a particular societal context-particularly by minority groups within a given society whose difference
from received norms challenges that society's implicit assumptions about its members' identity. Indeed, she is most well known
for her work on gender identity, particularly in her ground-breaking Vested Interests: Cross-dressing and Cultural Anxiety
(1992), which examines transvestitism in a number of contexts in Western culture and cultural productions. Here, as elsewhere,
the conclusions she draws have consequences that reach beyond the confines of the academy: it is not surprising that her work
has found an audience in activists and public intellectuals as well as in scholars. Currently, Garber is the William R. Kenan
Jr. Professor of English and Director of the Center for Literary and Cultural Studies at Harvard University. She spoke at
Stanford on Monday, January 11, 2000, at 7 p.m. in the Law School.
