Witnessness
mai 08 I teach courses in modern and contemporary literature and theory as well as film. Most of my research is on the interpenetrations of literary and philosophical discourse. I've written on Samuel Beckett, Jean-François Lyotard, Jean-Paul Sartre, Marguerite Duras, and Marcel Duchamp and have translated Lyotard, Michel Deguy, Jacques Derrida, Paul Ricœur, and other French thinkers. My more recent publications are linked to the images of book covers to the left. The latest book, Witnessness: Beckett, Levi, Dante and the Foundations of Ethics, was published by Continuum in October 2010. Before returning to chair Cultural Analysis & Theory I was on research leave to prepare five texts in the Pléiade edition of Duras' complete works. I served as Program Director at the Collège International de Philosophie from 2001 to 2007).

In Spring 2012, I will be teaching "Sexuality in French Literature" (HUM 123) for undergraduates.
