OBE, FBA
Tuesday 11 September 2012, 14:30-16:45
Austrian Embassy, London
The Centre for German-Jewish Studies at the University of Sussex and
the Austrian Cultural Forum will hold an international workshop on
`Freud and Psychoanalysis´ in honour of the 75th birthday of Professor
Edward Timms. As the founder of the Centre for German Jewish Studies at
Sussex, Edward Timms is best known for his research on the Jews of
Vienna in the early twentieth century.
Developing an innovative research methodology which involves the
mapping of circles of intellectual creativity in diagrammatic form,
Timms´ work has inspired a new generation of scholars to seek out new
ways of thinking about the life and work of leading intellectuals such
as Sigmund Freud. This workshop will bring together leading scholars to
discuss Freud´s work within the tradition set out by Edward Timms.
