This series of eight lectures examines the theoretical development of psychoanalytic thinking through the work of Freud, Klein, Bion, Lacan and Winnicott. The lectures provide an introduction to the principal concepts of psychoanalysis, the most fundamental being that of the unconscious, which proposes that there are feelings, wishes and phantasies that lie outside our awareness. The course considers how psychoanalytic thinking can offer a way of understanding human experience and human suffering, and how it functions as a treatment that privileges the uniqueness and individuality of each person. It looks at dreaming, relationships, and creativity, examines the impact of loss and trauma and the particular patterns that emerge from childhood and continue to affect our lives throughout adulthood.

08 Feb 2014 10:00 : ART AS LACK: Psychoanalysis between the Artist, Artwork and Spectator

 

 

THE IRISH INSTITUTE OF PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY

 

107 LOWER BAGGOT STREET, DUBLIN 2

 

 

In this workshop, James Merrigan (artist and art critic) will look at art through the theoretical lens of psychoanalysis. Since the 1980s, the rise of psychoanalytic and feminist theory as interpretative strategies for art has been exponential in comparison to other theoretical approaches. Although not always credited, Freud still lurks behind the artwork and artist, oftentimes disguised under the linguistics of Jacques Lacan. Without psychoanalytic theory we would not consider the intersubjective relationship between the artist, artwork and spectator. Arguments for and against the unconscious being an agent in the creative act will be discussed, alongside the correlation between art and madness, art and trauma, art for art’s sake vs. expression, the symptom and sublimation of art, artist envy, and the artwork as ‘lack’ (lack = desire).

The workshop will be spread over four classes, starting on Saturday 8 February 2014 (from 10am – 1pm), and continuing on the 22 February, 8 and 22 March. Participants will be asked to read prescribed texts prior to each class, which will be discussed and then expanded upon with the use of videos that model contemporary art practice and theory in relation to psychoanalysis. Although pre-Modernist art is where psychoanalysis began its journey into the psyche of the artist with Freud’s essays on Leonardo and Michelangelo, these workshops will primarily discuss Modernist and Postmodernist art, from Marcel Duchamp to Miroslaw Balka, with some hindsight analysis on the art of the distant past.

Biography

01 Feb 2014 18:00 : Fifth Irish Psychoanalytic Film Festival

 

Fifth Irish Psychoanalytic Film Festival

(An APPI/IFPP/Independent Colleges Event)

Jan 31st/February 1st 2014

 

Psychoanalysing Irish Cinema

(or, everything you wanted to know about ‘The Irish’ but were afraid to ask Freud)

The Fifth Irish Psychoanalytic Film Festival will take place on 31st Jan/1st February 2014. The object of our psychoanalytic/cinematic scrutiny for this festival will be ‘The Irish’. The notion that the Irish are unanalysable is attributed to Freud, locating ‘The Irish’ together with other unanalysable subjects (‘The Japanese’,‘Lesbians’…) who somehow are beyond or outside the discourse of psychoanalysis.  In Martin Scorsese’s movie The Departed, one of the protagonists, Colin Sullivan remarks that:“What Freud said about the Irish is: We’re the only people who are impervious to psychoanalysis”. William Monahan, screenwriter of The Departed admits that he paraphrased this line which he had come across in various articles, his understanding of the apparent original remark by Freud being: “This is one race of people for whom psychoanalysis is of no use whatsoever.” Although this remark attributed to Freud has never successfully been tracked down in his writings or those of his biographer – the Welshman Ernest Jones – it has become something of an urban myth about ‘The
