3.00 points · University catalogue

This seminar will concentrate on close readings of four key texts: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious; Mourning and Melancholia; Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety; and one additional text to be chosen by the class. These texts are chosen in part to not overlap with those covered in CLPS GU4200 . Key supplemental readings will explore aspects of the text’s historical, cultural and intellectual context, contemporary reception, and influence on psychoanalytic theory, philosophy, and beyond
