Poetry Reading Date: 3/26/2004; 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM Location: Osterman Common Room, 0520 Rackham Building, 915 E. Washington St, Ann Arbor Host Department: Institute for the Humanities Denise Riley, School of English and American Studies, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK Detailed Information Professor Riley has a rich and varied background in European philosophy and political thought, including philosophy of language, poetry and poetics and social and intellectual history. Her books include War in the Nursery: Theories of the Child and the Mother, “Am I That Name?” Feminism and the Category of “Women” in History and The Words of Selves: Identification, Solidarity, Irony. Besides being a scholar, she is a poet, and in 1996, was Writer-in-Residence at the Tate Gallery, London. At present, she is working on a volume of her own essays on the “everyday emotionality” of language. It will cover such topics as “false consolation, the retrospective construction of truth, an inflated sense of presence, a defence of solitude, the nature of linguistic embarrassment, recovery from verbal attack, shyness, unease and guilt in speech, and the feeling of lying when you’re truth-telling.” Professor Riley is the 2003-2004 Norman Freehling Visiting Professor at the Institute for the Humanities.
