Paul Hegarty is associate professor at University College Cork, Ireland, where he has taught in the French Department since 1996, specialising in C20 thought and visual culture. He is also involved with the new 'art history' programme and has taught in the schools of architecture and critical theory at the University of Nottingham in England. He has published articles and a book on Georges Bataille, and other articles on performance art, architecture and conceptual art. He is currently working on a book on Agamben and a further book on Bataille. Articles arriving in the near future include one on 'Japanese noise music', and another on New York/Paris and the time of modernity. In the meantime, he has become a 'practising sound artist' with installation and performance work.
