I am Professor of Philosophy at CU- Colorado Springs where I have also served as Chair and Co-Chair of the Department of Philosophy. I teach regularly in the interdisciplinary Humanities program and founded the Program in Women?s Studies, serving for five years as its director. My early research focused on the relation between the visual arts and philosophy, specifically, the extent to which philosophy attempts to regulate the arts and literature, often judging them according to standards alien to their own practices so as to compel them to conform to philosophical norms of beauty and intelligibility. In recent years, I have moved from engagement in critique to a positive account of the genesis of new ideas. I am most interested in the manner in which passive sensibility conditions perception. This is important to me because I believe that perception is dedicated to action, to acting in and on the world in order to serve one?s interests. Passive sensibility, on the other hand is, for me, the condition of the possibility of creativity. I have posited the idea that when human beings cannot restrain their fascination with and commitment to action, and cannot reflect upon the images of their own bodily pleasure and pain, then they are condemn to repeat the same old gestures, actions and thoughts. Creation of new ideas, new works of art and new modes of life is a gesture that calls upon us to restrain our habituation, thus our knowledge claims, and to risk putting previously unknown and unthought ideas into play. This work has drawn inspiration and impetus largely from my reading of authors such as Henri Bergson, David Hume, Luce Irigaray, Michele Le Doeuff, Clarice Lespector, Paul Virilio, Gilles Deleuze, Maurice Merleau-Ponty as well as architects and artists like Zaha Hadid, Mary Kelly and Bill Viola. I have published four edited volumes on Gilles Deleuze, Merleau-Ponty, and French feminism, with a fifth, Rereading Merleau-Ponty (Penn State University Press) ready for press. During my first sabbatical I wrote Gilles Deleuze and the Ruin of Representation (University of California Press, 1999) whose principle theme is the idea of an ontology that makes change conceivable thus actualizable. I am preparing for a second sabbatical this spring when I will complete a book, titled, The Universal. This book provides an extended argument for my definitions of and ideas about passive sensibility and active perception in the process of the creation of new ideas. In addition to chapters whose ideas arise from my engagements with literature, art and architecture, I have written several chapters on so-called violent emotions, specifically on love and hate. I have approximately fifty published papers and encyclopedia articles and myriad conference papers, both invited and submitted. I have also served on numerous tenure and promotion committees, Ph.D. thesis committees and on the Executive Boards of philosophical organizations like the Merleau-Ponty Circle and the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy, and I am on the editorial boards of the journals Hypatia and Continental Philosophy Review. I have been fortunate enough to have been invited to speak in Europe, Canada, Australia and England and have been awarded both the System-wide, University of Colorado, Elizabeth Gee Memorial Award for interdisciplinary work and the Campus-wide Research Award for my own campus. |
