Public open lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS Media and Communication Studies department program Saas-Fee Switzerland Europe 2010 Avital Ronell, Christopher Fynsk.
As one of the first translators of Jacques Derrida's work into English, she in effect introduced his work to the American academy. A hybrid of high theory and street talk, Avital Ronell's texts are remarkable both for what they say and for the extraordinary way in which they say it. In his critical writings, which breach the barriers separating philosophy, literary theory, and art criticism, Christopher Fynsk is deeply engaged with the question of the possibility of language and how the human relation to Being is sketched out through literary and philosophical texts and art works.
Avital Ronell's published work includes Dictations: On Haunted Writing (1986), Telephone Book (1989), Crack Wars: Literature, Addiction, Mania (1993), and The UberReader (2007). Christopher Fynsk's work includes Infant Figures (2000) and The Claim of Language (2004).
