The Gift and the Commons: Creativity and the Public Good
Featuring Author Lewis Hyde
Wednesday, February 3, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm
PNCA Main Campus Building, Swigert Commons, 1241 NW Johnson St.
A poet, essayist, translator, and cultural critic, Lewis Hyde is most widely known for his book, The Gift, a groundbreaking
study of creativity in a market-driven world, re-released in 2007 in celebration of its 25th anniversary. Hyde asks questions
central to the lives of artists as well as teachers and others who serve the public good: How do we discover work that
satisfies beyond financial compensation? What are our norms for reciprocity and how do gifts create bonds in
communities? His current project extends these questions to the realm of the “cultural commons” — “that vast store of
un-owned ideas, inventions, and works of art we have inherited from the past, and that we continue to create.” In his
lecture, Hyde will discuss personal gifts, the creative spirit, and our shared cultural past and imagined future. A MacArthur
Fellow, Hyde teaches during the fall semesters at Kenyon College, where he is the Richard L. Thomas Professor of Creative
Writing. The lecture is co-presented by PNCA and Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling Center for
Community Engagement.
