| Extra Info | : | Carol Gilligan in an online discussion with Lisa Appignanesi about her new book, In a Human Voice Carol Gilligan’s landmark book In a Different Voice – the “little book that started a revolution” – brought women’s voices to the fore in work on the self and moral development, enabling women to be heard in their own right, and with their own integrity, for the first time. Forty years later, Gilligan returns to the subject matter of her classic book, re-examining its central arguments and concerns from the vantage point of the present. Thanks to the work that she and others have done in recent decades, it is now possible to clarify and articulate what couldn’t quite be seen or said at the time of the original publication: that the ‘different voice’ (of care ethics), although initially heard as a ‘feminine’ voice, is in fact a ‘human voice’; that the voice it differs from is a patriarchal voice (bound to gender binaries and hierarchies); and that where patriarchy is in force or enforced, the human voice is a voice of resistance, and care ethics is an ethics of liberation. While gender is central to the story Gilligan tells, this is not a story about gender: it is a human story. In this special online event, held in anticipation of our major exhibition Women & Freud: Patients, Pioneers, Artists, Gilligan will be in conversation with the exhibition curator and former Freud Museum Chair of Trustees, Lisa Appignanesi, to help articulate and amplify this ‘human voice’ that so urgently needs to be heard. |
