About
Anat Pick’s work ranges across image and text. She holds a DPhil in English Literature from the University of Oxford and an MA in Critical Theory from the University of Sussex and is Programme Leader for Film & Video at the University of East London.
Anat has written on Henry James and Emmanuel Lévinas, Simone Weil, Nietzsche, Giorgio Agamben, posthumanism, documentary and independent film.
Her book CREATURELY POETICS: ANIMALITY AND VULNERABILITY IN LITERATURE AND FILM is published by Columbia University Press (2011) and argues for a radical rethinking of humans’ relationship to animals based on our shared existence as vulnerable living bodies. The collection SCREENING NATURE: CINEMA BEYOND THE HUMAN, co-edited with Guinevere Narraway, is forthcoming from Berghahn in 2012.
Anat’s current project turns overtly toward the political, exploring issues of powerlessness and representation in a range of visual and philosophical texts.
