The Centre for Comparative Literature presents a public lecture by Professor John Paul Ricco

John Paul Ricco’s work on social-sexual ethics lies at the intersection of art history, continental philosophy, queer theory, and architecture. He is the author of The Logic of the Lure (University of Chicago Press, 2002) and The Decision Between Us: art & ethics in the time of scenes (forthcoming, Chicago, 2012). He is currently working on a third book, Non-consensual futures. He is also the editor of a special issue of the journal Parallax on the conceptual theme of “Unbecoming,” and co-editor of a special issue of the Journal of Visual Culture on “Jean-Luc Nancy and the sense of the visual.”
