Description:

Please join the Department of French & Italian on Friday, May 5 at 3:30pm in Kresge 1-515 for Shit's Place: Gender, Property, Space, a guest lecture by Professor Annabel L. Kim (Harvard University).

Professor Kim's lecture will feature a reading of Marguerite Duras’s La Douleur and Monique Wittig’s L’Opoponax that explores how these texts formulate antipodal conceptions of the necessary relation between property and space as it manifests in the convergence of gender and excrementality.

An extended reception will follow the lecture in the Kresge Courtyard (or Kresge 2-305 in the event of inclement weather).
