Free public open video lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2011. Diane Davis. In 1995 she received her first doctorate at the University of Texas at Arlington, in Humanities—Rhetoric, Composition, and Critical Theory, with a dissertation titled "Breaking Up [at] Totality: A Rhetoric of Laughter for Politics and Pedagogy" for which she got a distinction as well. Finally, she obtained her second doctorate from EGS in 2003, receiving the highest distinction (Summa Cum Laude) for her dissertation entitled Inessential Solidarity. She would go on to publish both of her dissertations, the first one in 2000 and the second one in 2010. Professor Davis qualifies her research as "situated at the intersection of rhetorical theory and continental philosophy." In Inessential Solidarity: Rhetoric and Foreigner Relations (2010), Diane Davis focuses on the intersections of rhetoric and solidarity so as to question and revise a significant number of traditional assumptions operating in rhetoric. She does this by exploring a sort of commonality, oblivious to borders (débordement), that precedes and exceeds symbolic identification and therefore any prerequisite for belonging. In Breaking Up [at] Totality: A Rhetoric of Laughter (2000) Professor Davis challenges traditional theoretical conceptions of rhetoric. Diane Davis manages to disturb the "either/or" binaries in language. She is interested in something other, a third, which is an excess to any binaries in a language that is typically of constructed of opposites. In this volume laughter becomes this third and thus the subject of her deconstructive analysis. Diane Davis is also the co-author of Women's Ways of Making It in Rhetoric and Composition (2008), with Michelle Ballif and Roxanne Mountford, and editor of The UberReader: Selected Works of Avital Ronell (2008) and Reading Ronell.
