CFAR Annual Conference
Forgetting the Past:
Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Politics
SATURDAY 7 JULY 2018
10:00 am – 5:15pm (registration from 9:30 am)
Venue: Freud Museum, 20 Maresfield Gardens, London NW3 5SX
Participants include:
Lucia Corti, Luis Izcovich, Nina Power, Paul Verhaeghe
What are the consequences of forgetting the past? Psychoanalysis studies this question on a daily basis, in its engagement with repression, trauma and the symptom. But how does forgetting affect politics in the contemporary world? With an increasing amnesia about the events of the twentieth century, how are politics being shaped today and what can we expect from the future?
Entrance fee: £60
