Bodies in Movement, supported by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), is extremely excited to present Scott Wilson as the first academic speaker in our Spring-Summer 2012 Seminar Series, taking place at IASH, Edinburgh from 2-6pm on 25 May 2012.
A member of both the London Graduate School and the School
of Humanities at Kingston University, London, Wilson will join us for a half-day,
in-depth discussion of his work. Wilson's current research in psychoanalysis,
influenced by cultural theory – particularly within the areas of cinema and music
– both tests the limits of psychoanalysis as a discipline and seeks to revise its
contemporary social bases. Be prepared for dashes of game theory, Aphex Twin,
David Lynch, psychosis and more in this fascinating and dynamic afternoon of discussion.
This is a free event, but booking is essential. Participants
are asked to read the following texts in advance, which will be provided by the
organisers upon confirmation of attendance:
- "Making Numbers Speak: John F. Nash Jr. and the Madness of Neoliberalism." Culture/Clinic 1.1 (forthcoming): 1–17.
