My Dear Neoplasm: Cancer and the History of the Graft

On Tuesday, February 11, 2025, Brown University’s Department of French and Francophone Studies will host Associate Professor of French and Global Studies, Adam R. Rosenthal from Texas A&M University for a lecture on cancer.

In “My Dear Neoplasm,” Adam Rosenthal synchronizes poststructuralist analysis with molecular biological research into the writing of tumors. He argues that approaching the problem of the tumescence we know as “cancer” requires thinking alterity with Freud, Derrida, and Nancy, but doing so through a rereading of the evolutionary histories and logics of intercellular communication that give form to the formless. What follows is a new history of the graft.
