ABOUT OUR SPEAKER
Marianne Hirsch is the William Peterfield Trent Professor Emerita of English and Comparative Literature and the Institute for the Study of Sexuality and Gender at Columbia University. She writes about the transmission of memories of violence across generations, combining feminist theory with memory studies in global perspective, a process she has termed “post memory.” Some of her books include Family Frames: Photography, Narrative, and Postmemory; The Generation of Postmemory: Writing and Visual Culture After the Holocaust; and Women Mobilizing Memory. She is currently a Getty Scholar and completing a book on the theme of reparative memory.
ABOUT THIS SERIES
From its very beginnings, psychoanalysis has existed at the intersection of science and the humanities. In the face of increasing pressures from evidence-based practice and medicalization, what can psychoanalysis learn from the humanities? Collectively, our speakers represent the leading edge in humanities and the arts and bring a diverse array of perspectives to bear. These talks promise to illustrate the manifest and often overlooked links between psychoanalysis and the humanities and provide a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary learning and dialogue.
All speakers will present their talks in person. We encourage everyone who can, to attend in person and continue the tradition of meeting together at the Institute. For those who are unable to join in person, we offer a real-time stream, to reach beyond New York to a broader audience.
