Cruel Nirvanas: Outsiders and Ethnopoetics

Running Time: 
65:22

 

Jerome Rothenberg reads from A Cruel Nirvana, which is a collection of his previously published poetry. 
 
Rothenberg is a poet, translator, and anthologist. The influence of his work in these areas is impossible to quantify, but it has been enormous, and he has helped shape the way poets have thought about culture, myth, identity, and performance for the last 50+ years (since his first anthology New Young German Poets in 1959, which included the first English translations of Paul Celan).

Efforts in collecting fMRI data during a migraine attack to developing mobile apps and VR tools that facilitate new ways of pain data exploration and discovery will be discussed including the soon to be released PainTrek mobile app. PainTrek is a novel mobile app that was developed to make it easier to track, analyze, and talk about pain. Using an innovative "paint your pain" interface, users can easily enter the intensity and area of pain by simply dragging over a 3D head. Pain information can be entered as often as the user likes, can be viewed over time, and even analyzed to provide deeper understanding of the user's pain. Dr. DaSilva responds to a series of prepared questions related to his research process(es), followed by Q & A from the audience.
