The 2007 CWRL Lecture Series continues on Thursday, October 11 at 3:00pm in the Texas Union's Lonestar Room (3.208) with a lecture by Victor Vitanza. Dr. Vitanza is Professor and Director of Rhetorics, Communication, and Information Design at Clemson University. His talk is entitled "Scars" and is an exploratory piece for his current project Design as Dasein. This text is the third in a trilogy, following Negation, Subjectivity, and The History of Rhetoric (SUNY 1997) and Chaste Rape (under consideration for publication).

Dr. Vitanza returns to UT for the first time since 1991. His first visit was in 1986 when Jim Berlin invited him to deliver a paper called "Critical Sub/Versions of the History of Philosophical Rhetoric," a paper that was eventually published in Rhetoric Review. In 1991, he visited UT again to deliver a paper on Jean Jean-François Lyotard's Differend.
