OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
French Writers in the Killing Zones: From the Death Penalty to Terrorism
The lecture will be followed by an audience Q and A session, and a drinks reception. All are welcome and the event is open to the public.
Professor Morisi’s research seeks to interrogate the intersections of poetics, politics and ethics in post-Revolutionary French and Francophone literature. Part of it focuses on Nobel laureate Albert Camus and on the representations of extreme violence and resistance in both prose and poetry from the 19th century to the present day. Her book publications include: Captial Letters: Hugo, Baudelaire and the Death Penalty (forthcoming, 2020), Death Sentences: Literature and State Killing (with Birte Christ, 2019), Camus et l’éthique (2014), Albert Camus: le souci des autres (2013), and Albert Camus contre la peine de mort (2011).
