Date:07/06/2024
Duration:6:30 - 8:00 pm BST
Extra Info:Psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster and historian Patrick Weildiscuss their latest books through the lens of psychopolitics in the 21st century. Focusing on the body and sexuality’s disorganising potential, Webster brings clinical insights to the questions of authority, masculinity, and the death drive. Weil found Freud’s lost psycho-biography of former president Woodrow Wilson in the Yale archives. Why was it so thoroughly rejected by critics, political theorists and by psychoanalysts when it came out in 1966? This conversation helps us to think about leadership, politics and madness.
