Video: Penelope Deutscher and Jana Sawicki in Conversation with Lynne Huffer on Foucault’s Strange Eros

“In a provocative take on eros as a verb—as erosion of the thinking subject bound by grids of intelligibility that define her identity—Huffer offers the splendid final installment of her Foucault trilogy. Forcefully written with a capacious imagination, this book exemplifies the enviable rewards of a sustained in-depth engagement with Foucault as an ethopoietic thinker.”

~Rey Chow, author ofNot Like a Native Speaker: On Languaging as a Postcolonial Experience

Our Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy virtual exhibit continues today with a look at Lynne Huffer’s Foucault’s Strange Eros.
