Dr. Christine Battersby (Warwick), talks to the HEYTHROP PHILOSOPHY SOCIETY about sublimity.
Dr. Christine Battersby is well known in the fields of feminist metaphysics and aesthetics. Touching on themes from her recently published "The Sublime, Terror and Human Difference" (Routledge, October 2007), the talk will be focusing on Nietzschean issues of the sublime.
Her most recent work has explored the troubled history that links the sublime to political terror and to the denigration of women and other supposedly 'inferior' human types. Arguing against those theorists of a 'feminine' or 'postmodern' sublime who advocate a respect for 'difference' whilst continuing to render material, cultural and embodied differences invisible, she engages with Kant, Nietzsche, Burke, the German Romantics, Derrida, Lyotard, Irigaray and Arendt, as well as with women writers and artists.
We hope to see you there!
