I am glad to announce that the internationally renowned cultural
theorist *Eric Gans* will be visiting the University of Sydney as part
of the 2008 Philosophy of Religion Seminar Series.
Eric Gans (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Gans) is Professor of
French at UCLA and the author of ground-breaking books such as /The
Origin of Language/ (University of California Press, 1981), /Originary
Thinking: Elements of Generative Anthropology/ (Stanford UP, 1993), and
/The Scenic Imagination/ (Stanford UP, 2008). Gans is a world leader in
the field of cultural theory and his work on the origin of language is
seminal both in the US and abroad. His most original and significant
contribution is the discussion of the history of human culture as a
genetic or 'generative' development of the origin of language.
Eric Gans will be Visiting Professor in the School of Philosophical and
Historical Inquiry. His visit has been made possible through the
contribution of SLC, SLAM, SSPS, The Faculty of Arts, The University of
Sydney; and the University of Western Sydney.
In three speaking events to be held 1-11 November, Eric Gans will
explore his 'generative anthropology' in conjunction with philosophy and
religion:
*Tuesday 4 November, 2008, "Generative Anthropology: a New Way of
Thinking"*.
Seminar with students and staff, the University of Sydney, Mungo
MacCallum Building, Room 822, Manning Road, 3 -- 5 pm. Light

1.1.114, 11am -- 1pm.
