Andrzej Jachimczyk
writer and director
Andrzej Jachimczyk, Ph.D. is the Catherine Malabou Fellow at the European Graduate School, the Department of Media Philosophy, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, and an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of North Carolina Pembroke.
His search interests lie in the area of the Hegelian concept of plasticity as the process of creation and annihilation – metamorphosis from substance to subject through its capacity to receive and to give form to its own content.
Recently, he has reformulated the concept of plasticity into an exploration of the nature of thinking and the ontology of mind, attempting to approach this problem through the nontraditional, representational perspective of film as philosophy.
He is the author of a book, Reading Hegel After Nietzsche, published by the Atropos Press in March 2013. A short film Artworkers is his first attempt at film essay.
