In conjunction with the premiere of the documentary film Regarding Susan Sontag, this lecture traces SONTAG’s life, which she lived
voraciously through her multiple selves, accepting all their contradictions. As well as examining her position in critical theory and
literary research, it also ventures into the hitherto little-explored territory of Sontag’s approach to gender and sexuality.
