Venue:

No booking required
Reading Fanon with a Lacanian standpoint indeed yields a striking number of thematic overlaps, certainly in respect of: the role of fantasy, the social nature of the unconscious, the body-image and the idea of the body-in-pieces, the gaze and the scopic field. By exploring a series of productive tensions in the work of these two psychiatric theorists, this paper aims to outline a distinctively Fanonian version of Lacanian theory which hints at new directions for Lacanian social theory.
This event is organised in collaboration with the Birkbeck Institute for Humanities
