DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 7\n4:00 - 6:00 p.m.\, THH 420\nLight refreshme
 nts will be provided.\n\nIn this event\, Tompkins puts queer of color aest
 hetic theory into conversation with philosophical investigations into the 
 agency of lively matter. Tompkins investigates how rot and decomposition p
 rovide a language for theorizing a queer and “de-formalist” history of
  race and sexuality as against the return of a purist formalism enchanted 
 with its salvific relations to aesthetics. \n\nKyla Tompkins is an associa
 te professor of English and Gender and Women’s Studies at Pomona College
  and author of Radical Indigestion (2012). Her work investigates aesthetic
  production\, biopolitics\, and the history of ideas via an interdisciplin
 ary methodology grounded in close reading practices.
