Avital Ronell Biography

Avital Ronell is one of the most popular and richest Psychotherapist who was born on April 15, 1952 in Prague, United States. “Part Two” presents a example of literary parasitism in Eckermann and Goethe and begins with the Goethe’s dining room within Weimar “the eleventh of September 1828, at two o’clock.” In the words of Ronell, Ronell re-imagines the scene that Eckermann depicts at the start and the end of Conversations with Eckermann. Ronell begins to confront the idea that the author is an beautiful human being, and then insists on the need for passiveness for the writer in his role as person. Ronell is also skeptical of a work as a whole. Ronell redefines previous arguments on female appropriation within the context of writing for Eckermann who says that appropriation “involves recuperating something ‘for myself,’ for the most part instinctively; it entails repetitive acts of appropriation.”

Ronell defends “the necessity of the unintelligible.” In a report on her 1991 Rodney King beating, Ronell asserted that the idiom”perfectly clear “perfectly clear” recurrently serves as a symbol for the white falsehood. Instead of using the term “self” to refer to herself as the writer of a piece or even a text, she’s sometimes described herself as an “signatory,” “operator,” or “television.” Sometimes, she focuses on thinkers who tidy the mess left by other writers and suggests that her “sanitation departments” sometimes undermine the work they clean up after.

Ronell’s work has been both praised and criticized. In 1994, the journal Diacritics published a special edition “On the Work of Avital Ronell”, in which Jonathan Culler wrote: “Over the past decade, Ronell has put together what must be one of the most remarkable critical oeuvres of our era … Zeugmatically yoking the slang of pop culture with philosophical analysis, forcing the confrontation of high literature and technology or drug culture, Avital Ronell produces sentences that startle, irritate, illuminate. At once hilarious and refractory, her books are like no others.” Judith Butler has said she feels deeply indebted to Ronell’s influence on her work and wrote in an edited collection Reading Ronell: “The different path that Ronell takes is precisely the path of difference: gay, difficult, affirmative, ironic.” The collection’s editor Diane Davis highlighted the “singular provocation of Ronell’s ‘remarkable critical oeuvre,'” “the devastating insights, the unprecedented writing style, the relentless destabilizations.” In the sixth session of The Beast and the Sovereign on February 6 of 2002, Jacques Derrida devoted special attention to Ronell’s Stupidity and commends the untranslatable complexity of her “irony.”

In 2009, the Centre Pompidou invited Ronell to hold an interview series with such artists and thinkers as Werner Herzog, Judith Butler, Dennis Cooper, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Suzanne Doppelt. Also in 2009, she began co-teaching courses with Slavoj Žižek. In 2010, François Noudelmann also co-taught with her, and co-curated the Walls and Bridges program with her in 2011.

However the review written in 1990 of The Telephone Book for the New York Times Book Review Novelist Robert Coover appreciated the “visual pyrotechnics” of the book’s typography, but thought “the argument… to be that of a fairly conventional academic paper, recognizably party-lined with fashionable Continental voices like Jacques Lacan, Roland Barthes and Jacques Derrida,” and concluded that the link Ronell attempted to make between Heidegger schizophrenia, Heidegger, as well as the phone “weak.” In a 2002 article about Stupidity published by The Times Literary Supplement, philosopher Jonathan Ree said Ronell’s “prose reads like a plodding translation of a French version of Heidegger, but there is hardly a sentence that does not try to stop the show to receive an ovation for its cleverness.” Bernd Huppauf (former chair of the German department at NYU who was hired by Ronell and was later removed by her) has also said that her writing was “translating incomprehensibility into pseudo-profundity.”
