The Order of the Third Bird: Documents and Considerations

D. Graham Burnett & Sal Randolph, Seminar in Cultural History
January 25, 2012

Making use of available documentation, D. Graham Burnett and Sal Randolph provided a brief synopsis of the body known as “The Order of the Third Bird,” its principles, and preoccupations. The focus of the evening was the ongoing efforts to sift an emerging archive that bears on the genealogy of the Order’s practices. Is it possible to trace the history of the Order, and to make sense of its sublated entanglement with crucial moments in the philosophy of aesthetics? Surprising new sources are continuously coming to light, and require both public airing and critical scrutiny.
