Hi all, just a quick reminder about this upcoming conference on Wagner's Parsifal.
WAGNER'S PARSIFAL AND THE CHALLENGE TO PSYCHOANALYSIS
International Day Conference at the Freud Museum London
3 July 2016
9.30am - 5.00pm
Bookings: https://www.freud.org.uk/events/76442/wagners-parsifal-and-the-challenge-to-psychoanalysis/
What can Parsifal tell us about the secret springs of human desire and the conflicts of human nature?
This conference is entirely devoted to Wagner's final masterpiece, Parsifal, and explores whether this sublime, troubling and contentious work prefigures psychoanalytic insight or resists psychoanalytic interpretation. As a story of compassion and redemption, which nevertheless describes a world of perversion and mental anguish, what can Parsifal tell us about the secret springs of human desire and the conflicts of human nature? And how did Wagner manage to create it?
