A LECTURE BY DICK HEBDIGE
Even Unto Death: Improvisation, Edging, and Enframement


The ability to improvise is regarded as a sign of creative intelligence, but what is improvisation and what role, if any, does it play in critical thinking? even unto death is a talk with video, slides and audio inserts that looks at the place of improvisation in jazz, art and everyday life.

DICK HEBDIGE is Dean of Critical Studies and Director of the Writing Program at California Institute of the Arts. He is a cultural critic and scholar who has written extensively on popular culture, contemporary art and design, the anthropology of consumption and media and critical theory. He has published three books, Subculture: The Meaning of Style (1979); Cut 'n' Mix: Culture, Identity and Caribbean Music (1987) and Hiding in the Light: on images and things (1988).
