This seminar will present two convergent lines of discussion on psychoanalysis in contemporary times. On one hand, the consideration of History as a form of writing that must provoke perplexity in the face of the real will serve to present clinical practice through epistemological frameworks drawn from historiography. On the other hand, we will explore examples of new clinical forms of psychoanalysis in Brazil—such as collective listening with gravediggers, public clinics, and the so-called anthropophagy of Brazilian culture in the reception of Lacanism in the country.

The seminar requires previous registration, by April 14, and preparation of readings (email d.semerene@uva.nl to receive PDFs).  Students seeking 1 credit via NICA to participate in the seminar must send their name, institutional affiliation and program, institutional email address and student number by April 14 to: d.semerene@uva.nl
