ALPHONSO LINGIS LECTURE – THIS FRIDAY
Presented by The University of Sydney: Department of Performance  
Studies and School of Letters, Arts and Media

ALPHONSO LINGIS
Public Lecture: “Dominion of Shadows”

DOMINION OF SHADOWS is a work of beauty, humility and humour. Lingis  
performatively weaves a thread of experience in warm aphorisms -  
gentle, gruesome and filled with splendour.

Friday 9 October 2009, 3.00pm
Rex Cramphorn Studio, University of Sydney
Level 1, Woolley Building – enter via Manning Rd, opposite Old  
Teacher’s College
