Post-script with Professor Stefan Bird-Pollan on his book, Hegel, Freud and Fanon: the Dialectic of Emancipation.  Dr. Bird-Pollan is a colleague from the University of Kentucky's Department of Philosophy.  His recently published book examines how the work of Hegel and Freud helps us reconstruct the theory of the subject in the work of Martiniquan social theorist and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon.  As Bird-Pollan argues, Fanon's view of the subject preserves many important insights of the enlightenment while steering clear of the sorts of racial prejudices which are endemic in European and American society.  This talk will especially be of interest to any English students and faculty interested in race studies, postcoloniality, and the overlap between philosophy and critical theory.
