Andrew Asibong was previously in the Department of Film, Media and Cultural Studies at Birkbeck and he also taught the session on Psychoanalysis and Film on the Psychoanalysis and Culture module on several occasions. He is now a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in full time practice. He writes that his new book is 'about the relationship between the moving image and recovery from complex trauma'. This book will be published by Routledge in 2021, and is entitled Something to Watch Over Me: Post-Traumatic Attachments to the Eerily Moving Image. It is the result of several years of research into the relationship between developmental trauma and particular habits of film-watching.'
Andrew's talk will respond to by Noreen Giffney. Noreen is Lecturer in Counselling at Ulster University and a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and a psychosocial theorist. Before taking up the position at Ulster University in 2017, she worked at a number of universities in Ireland and the UK, including University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, the University of Limerick, and in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck. She has published widely on feminism and queer theory. Her latest book is The Culture-Breast in Psychoanalysis: Cultural Experiences and the Clinic (Routledge 2021).
