ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION 1963: Matriculated with a first class pass; Despatch High School. 1967: Baccalaureus Artium, University of Port Elizabeth; with three majors, viz. Philosophy, English and

Pedagogics. 1968: Secondary Teachers’ Diploma, University of Port Elizabeth. 1971: B.A. Honours, Philosophy; University of Port Elizabeth 1972: Magister Artium, Philosophy; University of Port Elizabeth, with a dissertation on: G.E. Moore as

Oorgangsfiguur in die Filosofie (G.E. Moore as transitional figure in Philosophy). 1978: Passes Doctoral examination (Viver) with distinction, University of Pretoria. 1979: Doctor Philosophiae, Philosophy; University of Pretoria, with a thesis entitled: Die epistemologiese

waarde van die Cartesiaanse Dualisme (The epistemological significance of Cartesian Dualism). OVERSEAS STUDY 1982: Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy, Yale University, New Haven, U.S.A., with a

research project concerning Philosophy of Art and Architecture, particularly the contribution of Martin Heidegger to this field; under guidance of Prof. Karsten Harries. Also attends seminar series on Critical Hermeneutics, presented by Prof. George Schrader.

1986: Second appointment as Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy, Yale University, New Haven, U.S.A., for research on the project: Deconstruction and Postmodernism. Attends seminars presented by Prof. Karsten Harries on Descartes, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche; by Prof. David Blinder on phenomenology and deconstruction; and by Prof. Cornel West on postmodern philosophy.

1994: Visiting scholar at the University of Wales, Cardiff College, Cardiff, in the School of English, Communication and Philosophy, for research on the project: Beyond hierarchy – the prospects of a post-hierarchical form of reason. Attends seminars on philosophy and critical theory, presented by Prof. Christopher Norris, as well as by feminists Diane Elam and Jean Grimshaw.

1999/2000: Conducts research (during Fall semester) at Villanova University, Philadelphia, USA, on Kant, Heidegger, Lyotard, Derrida, Foucault and the concept of the sublime in relation to contemporary culture and society. Attends seminars presented by Professors John Caputo, John Carvalho and Dennis Schmidt in this regard. The many art museums in and near Philadelphia ( Princeton, New York, New Haven, Boston) facilitate this research considerably. A visit to Paris, France – for a seminar with Jacques Derrida - during this time, makes it possible to spend time in the Louvre (among other museums), with its unsurpassed collection of 19th century romantic paintings. Also travels to New York and New Haven to renew academic contact with scholars in relevant fields of interest, such as Karsten Harries at Yale University, and Joan Copjec of Buffalo, NY. (This research visit is largely made possible by personal research funding generated on the basis of publication outputs, according to a formula implemented by UPE’s Research Office.)

2000/2001: During another visit to Villanova University (Fall semester), continues research on Kant and Heidegger (attending seminars by Profs Schmidt and Caputo in this regard), in addition to which projects on Merleau-Ponty and Jacques Lacan are initiated (in relation to seminars presented by Profs Thomas Busch and John Carvalho). Once again, the opportunity to maintain contact with scholars in

1

the vicinity of Pennsylvania (in New York and New Haven) is utilized. (This research visit is largely made possible, again, by personal research funding generated on the basis of publication outputs, according to a formula implemented by UPE’s Research Office.)

2001/2002: A further visit to Villanova University (Fall semester) creates the opportunity for the continuation of ongoing research regarding Lacan’s significance for philosophy, art (especially painting) in nearby art museums, as well as a related project (linked to previous research, but taking it in a new direction), namely, Image and word: The critical difference. The attendance of seminars presented by faculty at Villanova, including John Caputo’s on Derrida, and Tom Busch’s on Body/Politics, prove to be invaluable in this regard. (This research visit is largely made possible, once more, by personal research funding generated on the basis of publication outputs, according to a formula implemented by UPE’s Research Office.)

2002 (June): A mid-year visit (made possible, once again, by UPE research funding) to the US, in particular to the Philadelphia/New York region, creates the opportunity to continue benefiting from the contact previously established with scholars such as John Caputo, Joan Copjec and Dennis Schmidt. This time contact is also established with Michael Sorkin, Joan Copjec’s husband, world-renowned architectural theorist and urbanist, and the Principal of the Michael Sorkin Architectural Studio in New York, who recently co-edited the important publication, After the World Trade Center.

2003 (September): Another visit to the US – Philadelphia and New York in particular (with UPE research funding) – ensured continued contact with like-minded scholars such as John Caputo, Joan Copjec and Michael Sorkin, who had issued an invitation to present a paper on urban space in South Africa (see no. 66 in section on papers read at conferences and symposia) to students and staff as part of the Graduate Program in Architecture and Urban Design at City College, New York.

2006 (April) A follow-up visit to the United States (Washington, DC, and Philadelphia) creates the opportunity to renew contact with some important philosophical colleagues, including political philosopher Farhang Erfani (American University, DC), John Caputo (Villanova and Syracuse Universities), and Thomas Busch (Villanova). In addition, the visit to Washington, DC, coincides with two important retrospective exhibitions at the (Smithsonian) National Gallery, namely on Cézanne and on Dada – both of which have enormous potential for further research.
