Professors emeritus translate Sartre's It Is Right to Rebel

Nov 22nd, 2017

The notions and ideas that poured out of conversations with a renowned French philosopher are just as poignant today as they were in 1972. And for the first time, those words transcribed by Jean-Paul Sartre, Philippe Gavi, and Pierre Victor in It Is Right to Rebel have been translated into English, thanks to two retired University of Windsor professors.

Interaction between affect and language subject of lecture

Mar 9th, 2016

“There is no thinking outside language,” says Marcia Morgan. “Language is always in transit, exile, and dispossession.”

Professor of philosophy at Muhlenberg College, she will explore the interaction between affect and language as articulated in the works of Theodor W. Adorno and Julia Kristeva in her free public lecture, “The Affect of Dissident Language and Aesthetic Emancipation at the Margins,” Thursday, March 10, at 5:30 p.m. in room 2173, Chrysler Hall North.

Dr. Morgan says the two philosophers are united in their belief in emancipation through art.
