FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar – “The Thought of Germany and The Reality of France: In Memory of Bernard Stiegler” by Mr. Li Renjie
FAH/DPHIL Work-in-progress Seminar – “The Thought of Germany and The Reality of France: In Memory of Bernard Stiegler” by Mr. Li Renjie
Microsoft Teams: https://go.um.edu.mo/ptupr7d5 Abstract Is there such a thing as a French philosophy of technology? What drew Bernard Stiegler’s attention to the question of technics, viz., its constitutive role to human beings? What prompted him, in the first volume of Technics and Time, to engage a domain that had long remained repressed, unexplored, or even unthinkable in the history of philosophy? In this presentation, I will trace the concept of technics as memory in Stiegler’s thought through his appropriation of German philosophy, especially Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger, in dialogue with Plato and the French archaeologist and paleoanthropologist André Leroi-Gourhan. From there, I analyze how the technical aporia provides a dual foundation for Stiegler’s philosophical architecture. Finally, this presentation […]

FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: ‘Christopher Okigbo and the Legacies of Modernism in Post-Colonial Africa’
FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: ‘Christopher Okigbo and the Legacies of Modernism in Post-Colonial Africa’
Abstract: Nigerian poet Christopher Okigbo, known for his early attachment to aestheticism and modernist poetics and for his apparent late turn to more socially committed poetry, occupies a unique place in the debates about aesthetics and politics in postcolonial Africa. Contrary to frequent attempts to portray Okigbo’s development in terms of conversion from an aesthete into a political poet, I demonstrate that even at his most political Okigbo continued to rely on poetic techniques derived from T.S. Eliot and on the doctrine of aesthetic autonomy in order to safeguard his work from the encroachments of Afrocentrism and cultural nationalism. Biography: Aleksandar Stević is assistant professor of English at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. Primarily a historian and theorist of […]
