Death Drive Dialogue #2
Saturday, September 24, 2016 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Drs. Markman and Katz will each elaborate on the fundamental ideas of the death drive: Dr. Markman in the work of Freud and Klein, and Dr. Katz clarifying the differences between Laplanche and Green – or possibly presenting on the varieties of jouissance. Both presenters will include clinical experience as well as artistic, literary, and philosophic examples to illustrate the theoretical and pragmatic range of the concept.
