Brill Lecture:
Inheritance and Trust: Reading the Family Novel
Tuesday, February 10th
8:00 – 9:30 PM (EST)
Presenter: Daria Colombo, M.D.
Description: Daria Colombo, M.D. will use the occasion of the Brill lecture to consider our relationship to our socio-cultural surround. Building on the author’s previous work on autotheory, Dr. Colombo will present an analysis of a recent novel: Hernan Diaz’s Trust. The novel centers on economic and narrative collapse, in the context of Haydée Faimberg’s model of “Listening to Listening.” In particular, Faimberg’s ideas about basic assumptions, misunderstandings and otherness are used as springboards for an interrogation of our psychoanalytic inheritances and an argument for our pressing responsibilities in the current moment.
1.5 Contact Hours. 1.5 CME/CE credits will be offered. See details below.
General Admission: $50
Student Admission: $35
Free Admission for current NYPSI members/students and HFI Candidates
