Burke
launches International Writers Center
reading series By Liam Otten
At 7 p.m. Sept. 9, Burke will read from her work in the West Campus Conference Center. At 4 p.m. Sept. 10, she will conduct a seminar on "The Art of Biography" in McMillan Café, located in Old McMillan Hall. Both events are free and open to the public and will be followed by book signings. Born in Sydney, Australia, Burke holds a doctorate in English and comparative literature from Columbia University in New York. Becoming Modern (1996) has the rare distinction of being named an outstanding book by an independent scholar by the Modern Language Association while also serving as the basis of an original musical, performed at the University of Michigan Music School. Burke's other works include translations of Belgian feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray's This Sex Which Is Not One (1985) and The Ethics of Sexual Difference (1993); and the volume Engaging With Irigaray: Feminist Philosophy and Modern European Thought (1994). Burke also has published critical essays in the collections Women in Dada (1990); Julien Levy: Portrait of an Art Gallery (1998); and Mina Loy: The Woman and the Poet (1998). She is currently working on a life of photographer Lee Miller, to be published in 2003. For more information, call 935-5576. |
