Avital Ronell

The first episode of Avital Ronell's survival kit for the anguished.

Philosopher and literary critic Avital Ronell expresses herself here on the nature of survival, on how philosophers and poets allowed us to open our "heart spaces" to survival.

Survival has been philosophically divided into ways of merely living on or having a relation to something that Derrida called "sur-vie", which are themes explored in this first edition of Avital's Survival Kit for the Anguished.

The fifth episode of Avital Ronell's Survival Kit for the Anguished, recorded the day after confinement was lifted in France.

In this episode, Avital Ronell focuses on mortality and the community, on what we have learned and what meaning implies. Through an exploration of language and its declensions, she shows how some actions - such as teaching - can change radically depending on the type of language used. Teaching can be as instructive (the teacher) as threatening ("I'll teach you a lesson"), an example which illustrates the double nature of language theorised by Heidegger, simultaneously limiting and socialising.
