No where else in the world can you find the range of disciplines in one school. Over the last 50 years as we forged new programs, built our home in New York and expanded to our global academic centers, institutes emerged. Each are built with shared values, common goals, and a priority for putting students first. The result – a place where artists and scholars create the future.
Since 2009, CSGS has collaborated each year with the journal Studies in Gender and Sexuality to host a cutting edge conversation at the edges of psychoanalysis and social theories of difference. This year’s annual installment showcases pressing issues raised by the anthology Psychoanalysis in the Barrios: Race, Class, and the Unconscious, and features co-editors Patricia Gherovici and Christopher Christian and contributor Carlos Padrón. Among other things, this path-breaking volume argues that the clinical is political and listens for Freud with a Spanish accent in Latin America and beyond. This panel discussion will not only ask what happens when psychoanalysis goes to the Barrios, but — reversing direction — it will consider how clinical work and psychoanalytic theories can be transformed by bringing the Barrios into psychoanalysis.
Co-organized by the NYU Center for the Study of Gender & Sexuality and Studies in Gender and Sexuality, with additional support from the NYU Department of Performance Studies.
