Catherine Malabou will give the 2015 Wellek Lectures on May 20-22. The topic is “Metamorphoses of Intelligence”.

The Critical Theory Institute at UC Irvine presents the Wellek Library Lectures, featuring Catherine Malbou.
Malabou will be giving three lectures on “Metamorphoses of Intelligence.”

Established in 1981, the Wellek lectures have enabled distinguished critics to exchange ideas and defend their work over the course of three lectures. The featured scholars have shaped the direction of contemporary critical theory. Past lead lecturers have included Jean Baudrillard, Étienne Balibar, Edward Said, Jean-François Lyotard, and Jacques Derrida. This event is named in honor of Professor René Wellek, whose corpus of work in critical theory is housed at UC Irvine’s Langson Library. The papers resulting from the Wellek lectures will be published by Columbia University Press.

This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Michelle Maasz at mmaasz@uci.edu.
