The Foreigner Inhabits Us, A Matter of the Self

December 7 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Speaker

Carina Licovich

The psychoanalytic unconscious removes the pathological stigma from the foreign and integrates an unknowable otherness into the subject’s being. The foreign, the uncanny, resides within us, meaning that we are all inherently foreign to ourselves, split by an inner division.

If one is able to confront and accept this internal foreignness, the external foreigner will no longer represent a threatening other.
