Unconscious Phantasies of "Cure" and the Therapeutic Aims of Psychoanalysis
Birkbeck Institute for Social Research/Institute for the Humanities
Ignes Sodre Seminar - Unconscious Phantasies of "Cure" and the Therapeutic Aims of Psychoanalysis
Ignes Sodre, a training and supervising analyst at the British Psychoanalytical Society, and currently Visiting Professorial Fellow, jointly in the Birkbeck Institute for Social Research and the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, will be offering a series of workshops open to students and staff, during 2009-10. These workshops will be freestanding, so participants are free to attend on one occasion or for the whole series. Each will be linked to the theme of ‘cure’ in psychoanalysis. She will draw on clinical material and psychoanalytical theory to suggest how various forms of mental disturbances may be result of unconscious methods of treatment for mental suffering. Clinical psychoanalysis can be seen, from this point of view, as a process of careful, gradual dismantling of methods of ‘cure’ which leave the personality restricted and impoverished. The psychoanalytical idea of ‘cure’ is based on Freud’s method of investigation in which self-knowledge opens a path for more appropriate (healthier) methods of dealing with what have been experienced as unbearable states of mind. This idea has its starting point in Freud’s perception that mental illness may itself be an attempt at cure: “In regard to the genesis of delusions, a fair number of analyses have taught us that the delusion is found applied like a patch over the place where originally a rent had appeared in the ego’s relation to the external world […]the manifestations of the pathogenic process are often overlaid by manifestations of an attempt at a cure or a reconstruction”. (Freud 1924, “Neurosis and Psychosis”).

Nudités, de Giorgio Agamben
Nudités (Broché)
de Giorgio Agamben
Broché: 191 pages
Editeur : Rivages (9 septembre 2009)
Collection : Bibliothèque rivages
Langue : Français
ISBN-10: 2743619945
ISBN-13: 978-2743619947
"Comme Profanations, Nudités rassemble en une série de brefs essais les motifs les plus urgents et les plus actuels de la recherche de Giorgio Agamben : depuis la fête, qu'il met de manière inattendue en relation avec le phénomène contemporain de la boulimie, jusqu'à la nudité, dont les implications théologiques cachées sont soumises à l'enquête archéologique ; depuis le problème du corps glorieux des béats, qui ont un estomac et des organes sexuels mais qui ne mangent pas et ne font pas l'amour, jusqu'à la figure nouvelle d'une identité impersonnelle imposée à l'humanité par les dispositifs de la biométrie. Le point de fuite vers lequel convergent tous ces thèmes est le désoeuvrement. Il ne faut pas entendre ce terme comme oisiveté ou comme inertie, mais comme le paradigme de l'action humaine et celui d'une nouvelle politique. C'est la pratique même de ce désoeuvrement qui définit le no man's land où se meut une écriture qui a brûlé ses cartes d'identité et qui est à tout à la fois, pensée et littérature, divagation et fiche philologique, traité de métaphysique et note sur les moeurs.

The language of citizenship has, in recent years, been mobilized by feminists to articulate a wide range of claims and demands. The notions of economic, political, social, cultural, sexual/ bodily, and intimate citizenship, for example, have all been developed and explored in terms of their normative potential and their actual realization. In Europe, in particular, there has been a strong steer from research funders and policy makers towards research agendas which address the question of citizenship in the context of increasingly diverse and multicultural societies.
But, can the concept of citizenship encompass the transformations that feminist politics seek? What are the restrictions and exclusions of contemporary forms and practices of citizenship? How does the concept of citizenship deal with power, inequality, and difference? What are the problems with framing our desires and visions for the future in terms of citizenship in a globalizing world of migration, mobility, armed conflict, economic crisis and climate change? Does the concept of citizenship restrict our imaginations and limit our horizons within nation-state formations? Can it ever really grasp the complexity of our real and longed-for attachments to communities, networks, friends and loved ones? Is it able to embrace the politics of embodiment and of our relationships with the non-human world? How have feminists historically and cross-culturally imagined and prefigured a world beyond citizenship? Is a feminist, queer or global citizenship thinkable, or should we find a new language for new forms of belonging?
We invite proposals for papers that address these questions and the broad theme of the conference. We particularly welcome papers which explore the interface between the feminist academy and feminist activism, and which are interdisciplinary and innovative in method and approach.
Individual paper proposals (max. 200 words) or proposals for panels of three or four related papers (max. 300 words) should be submitted by 1st December 2009.
The conference will take place in central London.
A limited number of bursaries will be available.

agonia
A relação da arte com a religião (no sentido mais amplo, ou seja, de uma relação com o distante) tem sido, em todos os tempos, estreita.
Por que será que os maiores autores, por muito "ateus" que fossem ou sejam, se cruzam sempre com esse limite de horizonte?
Essas obras deixam-nos sempre exaustos de tanta beleza, de sublime. É por demais, é um sofrimento, como um orgasmo arrastado e exaustivo.
Modestamente (é bom dizer assim) é o que procuro na minha pobre poesia. Esse êxtase, tão pouco à moda, onde se cruzem as mais directas e brutalmente expostas formas de transcendência: a agonia do amor e da morte.

chão, mesa, escadas...
A minha casa foi tomada de assalto
Esta manhã
Pelo começo de mais
Um dia
Vinham uma série de sinais
Encapuçados
Deixando cair pelas escadas
Ferramentas e caixas
E nessa precipitação
Atropelaram-se as horas
Umas nas outras
E saíram-me dos bolsos
Bilhetes de filmes antigos
Lenços de papel de cafés de aeroporto;
E enquanto tentava pôr
Tudo isso em ordem
Refulgiram de novo as árvores ao fundo;
E o dia já acabava; e saíam
Os signos encapuçados, rindo muito,
Deixando cair chaves de fendas,
Prometendo voltar depois da noite...
Entretanto, toda a tarde,
A mesa da cozinha
Terá emanado uma estranha luz;
E sobre ela tu estarias sentada,
Nua três vezes sobre a tua nudez.
E essa refulgência, indecoro,
Assalto de pernas traçadas,
E nádegas, e lábios experientes,
E sinais que de toda a parte trouxeste
Estavam ali parados, esperando,
Em assédio subtil, aparição,
De que só fui a tempo de recolher
Um vestígio tombado.
A tua camisa camisa de noite
Totalmente despida, e entregue
Na sua nudez.
Então sobre o tampo da mesa tentei aspirar
Os sabores de tão flagrante
(Des)encontro, e o meu jantar
Foram os sinais que a tua pele ali deixou.

Um momento da conferência de sábado promovida pela ADECAP
e pronunciada por Gonçalo Leite Velho... tivemos de abandonar a sala por volta das 18 da tarde, e já com atraso em relação ao combinado com a gentil Fundação Eng. António de Almeida, que mais uma vez nos albergou no Centro Unesco do Porto.
identidade e negação versus diferença e repetição
Anti-hegelianismo generalizado a que Deleuze se refere logo no prólogo de "Diferença e Repetição" (1968, trad. port. Relógio d' Água, Lisboa, 2000, com prefácio de José Gil, pp. 35 e 36):
"(...) a diferença e a repetição tomaram o lugar do idêntico e do negativo, da identidade e da contradição, pois a diferença só implica o negativo e se deixa levar até à contradição na medida em que se continua a subordiná-la ao idêntico. O primado da identidade, seja qual for a maneira pela qual esta é concebida, define o mundo da representação. Mas o pensamento moderno nasce da falência da representação, assim como da perda das identidades, e da descoberta de todas as forças que agem sob a representação do idêntico. Nele, o homem não sobrevive a Deus, nem a identidade do sujeito sobrevive à identidade da substância. Todas as identidades são apenas simuladas, produzidas como um "efeito" óptico por um jogo mais profundo, que é o da diferença e da repetição. Queremos pensar a diferença em si mesma e a relação do diferente com o diferente, independentemente das formas de representação que as conduzem ao Mesmo e as fazem passar pelo negativo."
Eis todo um programa ambiciosíssimo, mas vital, que tem a ver, por exemplo, com o que ainda ontem se discutia à tarde na conferência e na conversa de café que se lhe seguiu... (ver postagem anterior)

Robert Crease: an important book
The Play of Nature: Experimentation as Performance
by Robert Crease
(Indiana Series in the Philosophy of Technology) (Hardcover)
"Crease's brilliantly exploited theatrical analogy places scientific theorizing back into the wider context of experimental inquiry...His is a genuinely original voice among those post-positivist philosophers of science whose star is clearly rising." - Robert C. Scharff. Attacking positivist and Kantian varieties of philosophy of science in which experimentation takes a backseat to theory, Robert P. Crease develops his conception of the centrality of experimentation via an argumentative analogy with theatrical performances. To establish his program, Crease draws on three nonpositivist strands of recent philosophy: Husserl's phenomenology to clarify the notion of invariance, Dewey's pragmatism to make needed revisions in our idea of productive inquiry, and Heidegger's hermeneutics to formulate a concept of interpretation appropriate to the cultural and historical 'lifeworld' in which members of a scientific community think and act."
Thanks to P. Auslander for having called my attention to this book.

Geminiani
Eu, que nada percebo de música, considero Francesco Geminiani (1687 - 1762) um dos mais notáveis compositores do barroco italiano.
Este CD, por exemplo, editado pela Naxos, é um bálsamo para o cérebro, que com essa música magnífica inundo neste momento...
Quando se pensa que me custou 5 euros... como tantos desta etiqueta...
realmente, só não aprecia música quem não quer...
Gostei de finalmente conhecer...

estímulo súbito numa vida estúpida
Esta vida que uma pessoa leva é tão estúpida, que quando recebe finalmente um mail de um colega respeitável com quem pode dialogar, meu deus, já se sente que se ganhou o dia...
avante para Serralves para ouvir o Hal Foster!
Valha-nos isso, madre santíssima!
Atenção Serralves
Atenção
as iniciativas em torno da rubrica PENSAR O MUSEU
que trazem a Serralves hoje, amanhã e depois personalidades internacionais básicas para o estudo da imagem e do museu são gratuitas mas exigem obtenção prévia de bilhete.
Hoje, por exemplo, a conferência de Hal Foster já está esgotada.

Sublime - an Important book
The Sublime Now (Hardcover)
by Luke White (Author, Editor), Claire Pajaczkowska (Editor)
Hardcover: 320 pages
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing; New edition edition (1 Oct 2009)
Language English
ISBN-10: 1443813028
ISBN-13: 978-1443813020
"The Sublime has been considered an archaic concept the relevance of which was limited to eighteenth-century discourses on art, literary criticism and aesthetics. But it is becoming obvious that contemporary culture requires of us a response that is at once emotional, critical, powerful and meaningful, and recently the issue of the sublime has found its way back onto the critical agenda. This book asks a series of critical questions about this resurgence: What is the legacy of the discourse of the sublime for us today? In what ways has it acquired an added urgency in our new millennium? To what extent is this concept a useful or dangerous tool for the understanding of contemporary culture and history? How does the Sublime follow the Post Modern? To what uses can and should it be put? Why the Sublime now? The editors have collected writings from many contemporary thinkers who bring the critical concept of the sublime into their discussions of contemporary cultures. Spanning philosophy, religion, ecology, politics, literature, avant-garde art, popular cinema, comic books, humour and digital cultures these essays consider the relevance of the sublime now. The authors make provocative readings of the original writings on the sublime, from Longinus, Burke, Kant and Nietzsche, to Freud, Lyotard, Derrida, Kristeva and others whilst bringing these writings to bear on today's cultural issues.
About the Author
Luke White and Claire Pajaczkowska have been researching into the Sublime for some years, as colleagues lecturing in art and design history at Middlesex University. Luke White is Lecturer in Visual Culture and History of Art and Design at Middlesex University, where he also completed his PhD, 'Damien Hirst and the Legacy of the Sublime in Contemporary Art and Culture,' in 2008. Claire Pajaczkowska is Senior Research Tutor at the Royal College of Art where she supervises doctoral research. As Leverhulme Research Fellow into the Sublime and the Transcendent she wrote several essays on the cultures of sublimity. A book Shame and Sexuality: Psychoanalysis and Visual Culture, co edited with Ivan Ward, was published by Routledge in 2008, and an essay 'Tension, Time and Tenderness' in The Virtual and Other Digitalities edited by Griselda Pollock was published by I.B. Taurus 2009. "

Blogging
Zero Comments: Blogging and Critical Internet Culture (Paperback)
by Geert Lovink
Paperback: 344 pages
Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (1 May 2006)
Language English
ISBN-10: 0415973163
ISBN-13: 978-0415973168
"Product Description
Internationally renowned media theorist and "net critic" Geert Lovink upgrades worn out concepts about the Internet and interrogates the latest hype surrounding blogs and social network sites.
From the Back Cover
In Zero Comments, internationally renowed media theorist and ‘net critic’ Geert Lovink upgrades worn out concepts about the Internet and interrogates the latest hype surrounding blogs and social network sites. In this third volume of his studies into critical Internet culture, following the influential Dark Fiber and My First Recession, Lovink develops a ‘general theory of blogging.’ Unlike most critiques of blogging, Lovink is not focusing here on the dynamics between bloggers and the mainstream news media, but rather unpacking the ways that blogs exhibit a ‘nihilist impulse’ to empty out established meaning structures. Blogs, Lovink argues, are bringing about the decay of traditional broadcast media, and they are driven by an in-crowd dynamic in which social ranking is a primary concern. The lowest rung of the new Internet hierarchy are those blogs and sites that receive no user feedback or "zero comments."
Lovink explores other important changes to Internet culture, as well, including the silent globalization of the Net in which the West is no longer the main influence behind new media culture, as countries like India, China and Brazil expand their influence. Zero Comments also looks forward to speculate on the Net impact of organized networks, free cooperation and distributed aesthetics.

"Review
"I tried to think of a witty play on 'Every picture tells a thousand words,' but then the whole word/picture thing collapsed on me. Burnett really marries the two together. This book is actually billions of pictures in disguise. Required reading in these accelerating times." - Douglas Coupland, novelist and visual artist"

Digital images are an integral part of all media, including television, film, photography, animation, video games, data visualization, and the Internet. In the digital world, spectators become navigators wending their way through a variety of interactive experiences, and images become spaces of visualization with more and more intelligence programmed into the very fabric of communication processes. In How Images Think Ron Burnett explores this new ecology, which has transformed the relationships humans have with the image-based technologies they have created. Burnett argues that the development of this new, closely interdependent relationship marks a turning point in our understanding of the connections between humans and machines. He argues that virtual images occupy a "middle space," combining the virtual and the real into an environment of visualization that blurs the distinctions between subject and object - part of a continuum of experiences generated by creative choices by viewers, the results of which cannot be attributed either to images or to participants. Added to this edition are Burnett's latest thoughts on the subject, in his "Notes on the paperback edition."
About the Author
Ron Burnett is President of Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design in Vancouver and Artist/Designer at the New Media Innovation Center. He is the author of Cultures of Vision: Images, Media, and the Imaginary and the editor of Explorations in Film Theory."

"I tried to think of a witty play on 'Every picture tells a thousand words,' but then the whole word/picture thing collapsed on me. Burnett really marries the two together. This book is actually billions of pictures in disguise. Required reading in these accelerating times." - Douglas Coupland, novelist and visual artist"

Andamento 1
Rodo
Em torno
Do teu centro,
Do teu
Umbigo
E o meu trajecto
Hesitante
Deixa marcas
Que caem
Lentas
Ao longo do tempo
No teu corpo
E sobem
Levitam
Descem
Com os gumes
Da escrita
Afiados, levitando
Lentamente;
Escrever,
Escrever-te!
E à medida
Que te marcam
Inscrevem a noite
Dos signos,
Acendem
O seu brilho bruxuleante
De estrelas.
------
Andamento 2
Tão lentamente
Cai cada verso
Sobre a brancura
Da página
E de tal modo ascende
De novo
Deixando as marcas
De quem procurou;
Patas de ave
Que rodou
Perversa
Por aqui
E depois caminhou
Para o fundo
Do texto
Lá onde
Uma porta se fechou
Definitivamente
Sobre a sua máscara
Sobre a noite.
Deixando as pernas
Rabiscadas;
Entregues ao esporão
Da expectativa
texto: voj nov. 2009 porto
