Dr. Kevin O’Neill, Fellow in Philosophy, Johnston Center for Integrative Studies University of Redlands, Redlands, CA; Professor of Philosophy, University of Redlands, Redlands, CA, Thursday, October 24th, 2013; Reception 5:30pm, Lecture 6-7:30pm. Philosophy Seminar Room 3059, Friday, October 25th, 2013; Lecture 3:30-5pm. Philosophy Seminar Room 3059, Dr. O’Neill has agreed to come to SIUC to present on the topics of 1) Virtual Immortality: Life after death in the age of social media, and 2) Impossible death: Post-modern Mortality in Derrida, Foucault and Bataille. The events are a continuation of Philosophy’s and Graduate Philosophy Union’s annual Colloquium Series, which is an ongoing effort to bring distinguished scholars to Southern Illinois University in an effort to promote interest in philosophy and contemporary work of philosophical import. Dr. O’Neill has been invited to SIUC for a variety of reasons of interest to those working in Representations of Death and the Afterlife in Popular Culture, Death and Philosophy, American Philosophy, Pragmatism and Neo-Pragmatism, and Post-Modernism. Dr. O’Neill will lecture on popular representations of death in America/social media, and juxtapose it with Post-Modern European philosophers and their thinking on the impossibility of knowing or understanding death. Dr. O’Neill will engage in question and answer sessions with students, faculty, and members of the SIUC community on a range of related issues. Dr. O'Neill is a leading scholar in Death and Technology Theory. He was the Keynote Speaker at the ADEC (The Association for Death Education and Counseling) National Conference this year, where his lecture, "Empty Sky: Mourning 9/11 in the CSI Television Series" drew wide praise.
