Psychoanalysis, War and the Law of the Mother
The conference Psychoanalysis, War and the Law of the Mother by Juliet Mitchell, (Professor of Psychoanalysis and Director of the Expanded Doctoral School in Psychoanalytic Studies at UCL Psychoanalysis Unit & Andrew W. Mellon Visiting Professor at the Courtauld Institute of Fine Art), will be held May the 28th, 11h at ICS Sala Polivalente. Opening remarks by Jorge Vala, ICS Director. Guest presentation by Anne Cova, ICS-UL
Juliet Mitchell's work in gender and psychoanalysis has led to numerous publications, including, among many others, Psychoanalysis and Feminism (1974), The Rights and Wrongs of Women (ed. with A. Oakley, 1977), Mad Men and Medusas: Reclaiming Hysteria and the Sibling Relationship for the Human Condition (2000) and Siblings: Sex and Violence (2003). Among her research interests are Gender differences from a psychoanalytic, literary and social history perspective with particular reference to siblings. Her work has revealed the importance of siblings and the neglect of a horizontal paradigm in contrast to the dominant vertical parent-child relationship of the Pre-Oedipal and Oedipus Complex and more widely in the social and psychological sciences. Professor Mitchell is currently Professor of Psychoanalysis and Director of the Expanded Doctoral School in Psychoanalytic Studies at UCL Psychoanalysis Unit and Andrew W. Mellon Visiting Professor at the Courtauld Institute of Fine Art. She is also the Founder Director of the Centre for Gender Studies at the University of Cambridge, a Research Fellow at the Department of Human Geography, University of Cambridge and Fellow Emeritus of Jesus College, Cambridge, and Emeritus Professor, University of Cambridge. She is a Fellow of the British and International Psychoanalytical Societies and a Fellow of the British Academy.
