Chairs: Humphrey Morris, Frances Restuccia

Brings together participants from both clinical and academic communities to ask how, today, we receive and reply to the Freudian legacy. The seminar pursues this inquiry in two ways. First, we convene a monthly reading group with regular membership that builds its discussion around sustained engagements with core texts. Those interested in joining the reading group should contact Humphrey Morris at humphreymorris@gmail.com. Second, we hold seminars given by invited guests with expertise in a range of disciplines. Our speakers hark from all over the world to address psychoanalytic theory/practice on its own as well as in relation to politics, history, aesthetics, theology, philosophy, and contemporary theory. We pre-circulate papers whenever possible to encourage seminar participation, the aim of such interaction being to generate new thought within psychoanalysis as well as through interdisciplinary connections. Please send (especially local) speaker recommendations to restuccia@rcn.com.
