It is 60 years since Patricia Highsmith first published her psychological thriller, The Talented Mr Ripley, and its forensic themes have fascinated readers ever since. Following on from its successful adaptation on stage and screen, this study day links the enduring appeal of the story to the theme of identity theft, which is foregrounded throughout the narrative. The ESRC funded event combines insights from the arts, psychology and sociology to both dramatise and discuss the motivations and emotions underpinning identity theft as a pervasive psychosocial issue. The session begins with a screening of the film The Talented Mr. Ripley (Anthony Minghella, 1999), followed by discussion with experts and the audience. The screening is followed by a live performance from the theatre adaptation in the form of a monologue by a member of the award winning Faction theatre cast. The performance is followed by an interactive panel discussion with a psychotherapist, Faction theatre members and BU academics.
The panel will include psychotherapist and broadcaster, Professor Brett Kahr; Faction Theatre Actor, Christopher Hughs; Director and scriptwriter of the stage adaptation of Ripley, Mark Leipacher, and BU Media and Communication Professors Iain MacRury and Candida Yates. This event builds on research carried out by Professors Candida Yates (Bournemouth University) and Caroline Bainbridge, (Roehampton University) of the UK Media and Inner World Research network (MiW) that combines media and cultural studies studies and psychoanalysis to explore the role of emotion in culture and society.
