26th Karl Abraham Lecture
In his lecture, Riccardo Steiner will sketch how some of the pioneers of British psychoanalysis tried to apply psychoanalysis to understand sociopolitical and historical issues during the first decades of the last century. Apart from Freud’s and Ferenczi’s work, he will focus on some papers of Ernest Jones, Edward Glover’s famous book War, Sadism and Pacifism (1932, 1947) and Roger Money-Kyrle’s Psychoanalysis and Politics (1951).

Workshop, 7 May 2018, 10:00 - 18:30
For the last decade of his life, Siegfried Kracauer, now mostly thought of as a media theoretician, worked on a book on history that remained unfinished at the time of his death in 1966. The workshop will consider the interlocutors Kracauer engages with in his largely overlooked book, ranging from Marx to Blumenberg, in order to examine his particular approach to the problem of historical time.

Exhibition, 16 May - 12 Jun 2018Christoph Breuer transposes chiaroscuro into the realm of colour, focussing on bright subjects in a muted field. Everyday objects such as pills, knives and gloves become unsettling in settings that are far from everyday. Human figures unfold a strange presence, even though their heads are covered with a scarf or motorcycle helmet.

Lecture, 22 May 2018, 19:30Media landscapes are far from being homogeneous. Media diverge not only because they perform diverse functions and elicit different practices, but also because they recall distinct stages in the media history. We deal with a number of “obsolete” media that nevertheless we still find useful and friendly—and whose ultimate destiny will be either to be discharged in a dump, or to be located in a museum. But how does the past speak to the present? The talk will challenge the idea of memory and illustrate its role in our cultural practices.

Lecture, 4 June 2018, 19:30The talk will examine how ‘fixation’ is associated with some of the most inventive and enigmatic moments in Freud’s accounts of the body, sexuality, and time. In one of Freud’s earliest clinical publications from the late 1880s, the term ‘fixation’ marks the moment where psychoanalysis veers off from psychiatry. Confronted with the paradoxical phenomenon of a woman whose speech is subjected to the mysterious force of what he calls ‘counter-will’, Freud begins to lay down the basic building blocks out of which he will go on to construct the architecture of psychic organization.
