Current Research

I currently have a few projects underway.

One is a series of interviews on the topic of deconstruction with a variety of critics and scholars.  Here I am trying to map the fate of deconstruction after its supposed demise. I have conducted interviews with Andrew Benjamin, Drucilla Cornell, Rodolphe Gasché, Geoffrey Hartman, Ernesto Laclau, J. Hillis Miller, Richard Rorty, Mark Taylor, Judith Butler, and Henry Sussman. This is essentially complete and is currently being considered by publishers.

My other project is a study of the impact of Hegel's discussion of the master/slave dialectic on philosophy.  Figures I'm examining include Freud, Sartre, and Foucault.
 

*Quinn's piece was created by making a cast of his own head and then filling the mold with his own blood.  The resulting "bust" requires constant refrigeration to maintain its form.  I leave it to you to draw the connection to research and publication.
