Empire of Illusion :The End of Literacy and the Triumph of the Spectacle

LEON S. PETERS ETHICS LECTURE

Empire of Illusion
Chris Hedges
Date: Wednesday, October 6, 2010
Time: 8 – 9 p.m.
Place: Henry Madden Library
Table Mountain Rancheria Reading Room

Pulitzer prize–winning author and journalist Chris Hedges charts the dramatic and disturbing rise of a post-literate society that craves fantasy, ecstasy, and illusion. Hedges argues in his new book, Empire of Illusion, that we now live in two societies. One, the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world that can cope with complexity and can separate illusion from truth. The other, a growing majority, is retreating from a reality-based world into one of false certainty and
magic. In this “other society,” serious film and theatre, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins.

This event is free and open to the public.

Sponsored by The Ethics Center at Fresno State, the Leon S. Peters Foundation,
The Printise J. Womack Lectures endowment fund, and the Henry Madden Library
