"THINKING WITH LITERATURE", a lecture by Peggy Kamuf

“WHAT IS COMPARATIVE LITERATURE?”

Second Lecture in the Series

PEGGY KAMUF (Marion Frances Chevalier Professor of French and Comparative Literature - University of Southern California)

“THINKING WITH LITERATURE”

This lecture takes place on Tuesday November 2, 2005 at 5:00 pm in the Morris Seminar Room 306 Royce Hall.

Peggy Kamuf's books have dealt with 17th and 18th-century French fiction (Fictions of Feminine Desire: Disclosures of Heloise, 1982), the theory of the signature in Derrida, Rousseau, Baudelaire, Virginia Woolf (Signature Pieces: On the Institution of Authorship, 1988) and the institutionalization of literary studies in France from the Revolution to 1914 (The Division of Literature, or the University in Deconstruction, 1997). She has also published numerous essays in feminist anthologies (on Foucault, Derrida, Cixous) and on literary theory. Many of these essays are collected in her Book of Addresses (2004). She is the editor of two collections of essays by Derrida: A Derrida Reader: Between the Blinds (1991) and Without Alibi (2002), as well as a special journal issue on Jean-Luc Nancy. She is an active translator, principally of texts by Derrida, but also by Nancy and Serge Leclaire. In 1995, she received the Raubenheimer Distinguished Faculty Award, in 1998 she was invited to teach at the Centre d'Études Féminines at the Université de Paris VIII, and in 2002 she was the invited senior fellow at the Society for the Humanities, Cornell. Her research concerns deconstructive literary theory, which she also pursues through her interest in American literature.
