William Egginton, Professor and Chair, Department of German and Romance Languages and Literatures, Johns Hopkins University
Professor Egginton is the Chair of the Department of German & Romance Languages and Literatures, The Johns Hopkins University. He teaches courses on Spanish and Latin American literature, literary theory, and the relation between literature and philosophy. His most recent book is "The Theater of Truth: The Ideology of (Neo)Baroque Aesthetics," (Stanford, 2010). He is also the author of: "The Philosopher¹s Desire," (Stanford, 2007); "A Wrinkle in History," (Davies Group, 2007); "Perversity and Ethics," (Stanford, 2006); and "How the World Became a Stage," (SUNY, 2003). Professor Egginton is co-editor of "The Pragmatic Turn in Philosophy," (SUNY, 2004), and his next book, "An Uncertain Faith: Fundamentalism, Atheism, and Religious Moderation," will appear later this year with Columbia University Press.
The aim of his talk is to derive a theory of everyday fundamentalism, i.e., fundamentalism not limited to the religious variety, from a series of fictional texts by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. The title comes from the postdated postscript he wrote to his 1941 story, "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis tertius," which contains his most explicit articulation of this theory. The lecture will seek to explain Borges' approach to this issue and its potential relevance to contemporary debates around atheism and fundamentalism.
