Pictured: Professor Homi K.Bhabha
We are delighted and honoured that Homi K.Bhabha, Rothenberg Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University and Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Humanities at University College, London, is to give the first annual lecture at UEL's new Centre for Cultural Studies Research (CCSR).
The lecture, entitled 'Time, Agency and the Banality of Evil', will explore 'the problem of political agency as the sudden turning of the ordinary, the banal, into the odious, the cruel or the evil; the problems of alterity in the recognition of agency and proximity; the traumatic making of memory in the present tense.'
Professor Bhabha is a renowned postcolonial theorist and cultural critic whose influential publication The Location of Culture has been
re-issued in the Routledge Classics series. He is currently at work on two new book projects: A Measure of Dwelling: a Theory of Vernacular Cosmopolitanism, forthcoming from Harvard University Press and The Right to Narrate, forthcoming from Columbia University Press.
Refreshments will be served from 17:00. A reception will follow the lecture. The event is jointly sponsored by Iniva at Rivington Place and UEL's Centre for Cultural Studies Research. 'We are grateful to Professor Bhabha for making this very special appearance. Visitors are advised to book their places early.
All welcome, admission FREE, but places must be reserved.
