Evelyn Moore joined Kenyon College in 1989. She has an M.A. in Linguistics and a Ph.D in German literature from the University of Illinois. Her research interests are in the area of 18th and 19th century German literature, psychoanalytic theory, film theory, and gender studies. She has published a book with Kluwer Press entitled The Passions of Rhetoric: Lessing's Theory of Argument and the German Enlightenment (1993), in a series on rhetoric edited by Michel Meyer. She has just completed two books: a monograph on Goethe and visuality, entitled The Eye and the Gaze: Goethe, Lacan and Visuality, which is under review for publication, and a collection entitled The Enlightened Eye: Goethe and Visual Culture, which is being published by Rodopi Press. She is Co-editor of the journal, (Re)-turn: Journal of Lacanian Studies. This journal created a new forum for international scholarship on Lacan's work. Increasingly, Lacan's psychoanalytic models are being applied to legal studies, post-colonial studies, as well as film studies and art history. Professor Moore has offered a number of courses on film and film theory, German literature, and literary theory.
