    Professor Christopher Fynsk presents Human Geography Research Seminar

    Swansea University will be hosting the Human Geography Research Seminar on Thursday 22 September at 4pm. The seminar will be presented by Prof. Christopher Fynsk, Director of the Centre for Modern Thought and the Head of the School of Language and Literature at the University of Aberdeen. Christopher will be speaking on the subject of: “Blanchot's exilic writing”.


    Christopher is the author of numerous articles for academic journals, which breach the barriers separating philosophy, literary theory, and art criticism, and engage 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.

    He is also well known for his work relating the political aspects of continental philosophy and he has translated works by Jacques Derrida, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, and Maurice Blanchot. Christopher Fynsk is an internationally recognized Martin Heidegger scholar and literary theorist who has worked with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy at the University of Strasbourg.
