Biography
Chris Eagle's research reflects his longstanding interest in the synthesis of philosophy, literature, and linguistics. In his doctoral work, he traced the history of theories of the perfect language, from Plato's Cratylus to the revival of perfect language theories in the works of Joyce, Proust, and Heidegger. Currently, he is working on a book project that studies the impact of aphasiology and speech pathology on modern writing. Specifically, he is interested in representations of speech disorders like stuttering and aphasia in the works of Zola, Proust, Joyce, Stein, Kesey, Mishima, et al. Another side project he is engaged in at present is a study of acts of naming in the novels of Cormac Mccarthy. Before coming to UWS, Chris was a postdoctoral fellow in the Humanities at the California Institute of Technology. In 2008, he received his Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of California at Berkeley. He has been a visiting scholar at the Antwerp Joyce Center as well as the Institute of Texts and Modern Manuscripts in Paris. He is also a former Fulbright Scholar.
