SUMMARY:MARIANNE HIRSCH\, Epiphanies of Repair: Memory Art and Practice
DESCRIPTION:IN DIALOGUE: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND THE HUMANITIES\nThe 2025-2026 Colloquium Series\npresented by the Psychoanalytic Society of the William Alanson White Institute\nEPIPHANIES OF REPAIR: MEMORY ART AND PRACTICE\nMARIANNE HIRSCH\, William Peterfield Trent Professor Emerita of English and Comparative Literature and the Institute for the Study of Sexuality and Gender\, Columbia University\nwith Hosts & Moderators\, Roger Frie\, PhD\, PsyD\, and Nancy Freeman-Carroll\, PsyD\, Co-Presidents of the Psychoanalytic Society\nFRIDAY\, APRIL 10th\, from 7:30-9:00pm/Eastern — please note this is a revised date\nHeld in person at the Institute\, 20 West 74th Street\, New York City and via live stream online\n1.5 CEs are available for attending. In order to receive your credit for attending\, follow the instructions that are sent prior to the event.\n\n  \nABOUT THIS PRESENTATION\nHow can we imagine repair at this moment of continuing war and genocide\, of violence\, political neglect and injustice?\nThis talk will place psychoanalytic theories of reparation into conversation with works by contemporary memorial artists like Kara Walker and Doris Salcedo. With destruction as a necessary ground of repair\, their works dislodge entrenched embodied responses to traumatic remembrance\, thus re-imagining the past and remembering its unrealized possibilities. Memory art\, Hirsch will suggest\, can become a transformative practice of communal repair and a platform of social solidarity.\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER\nMarianne Hirsch is William Peterfield Trent Professor Emerita of Comparative Literature and Gender Studies at Columbia University. She writes about the transmission of memories of violence across generations\, combining feminist theory with memory studies in global perspective. She is a former President of the Modern Language Association of America and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her recent books include The Generation of Postmemory: Writing and Visual Culture After the Holocaust (2012)\, the co-edited volumes Women Mobilizing Memory (2019) and Imagining Everyday Life: Engagements with Vernacular  Photography (2020)\, and\, co-authored with Leo Spitzer\, Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory (2010) and School Photos in Liquid Time: Reframing Difference(2020).  Currently a fellow at the Getty Research Institute she is working on a book about the reparative potentials of memory from which this talk is drawn.\n\n  \nABOUT THIS SERIES\nFrom 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.\nAll 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.\n\nThis series is presented at no charge to its audience. Please consider making a donation to The Psychoanalytic Society when registering.\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:\nOverall objectives of this colloquium series:\n\n\nDescribe the many interactions between the humanities and psychoanalysis.\n\n\nExplain how psychoanalytic practice can benefit from the insights of the humanities.\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES THIS PRESENTATION:\n\n\nDescribe the ways in which memory can have a reparative effect.\n\n\nExplain the relationship of reparative memory to trauma and psychoanalytic practice.
