Lotringer, Sylvère
Lotringer is a literary critic and cultural theorist, known in part for introducing French theorists to U.S. readers through his work as founder and editor of the journal Semiotext(e), founded in 1974 with a group of Columbia University graduate students. Lotringer was friends with Marion Scemama, and in the summer of 1989, he lent Scemama, her boyfriend, and Wojnarowicz the use of his house in the Adirondacks for the months. Lotringer also conducted interviews with Wojnarowicz and with his friends and collaborators that were gathered in a 2006 collection, David Wojnarowicz: A Definitive History of Five or Six Years on the Lower East Side.
