Dear All,

 

We would like to invite you to the last and rather special lecture of the Research Forum for Culture & Communication of Birkbeck's School of Languages, Linguistics & Culture. 

 

Professor Hélène Cixous

"Letter-Beings and Time" 

 

"Algeria. To go there as in a dream, that would be the ideal I said to myself. To go there as a dream, I dreamt. To go there in such a magic, such an intense powerful, light, fleeing, total fashion that I would have been there even while being as if I was not there myself but another, with the force but the impunity, and even the immunity of a letter. If I could have sent myself there, sent it to myself. Letter-being." 

(excerpt, translated by P. Kamuf)
