italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear list members,
We are pleased to send out the calendar of the Graduate Research Seminars of the Department of Italian Studies at the University of Cambridge for Michaelmas term.
The first graduate research seminar is on Thursday 17th October, at 1pm, Board Room, Graduate Centre of the Faculty of MML (3rd floor). Dr George Corbett (Junior Research Fellow, Trinity College, Cambridge) will present the whole research process attached to his recently published work on Dante and Epicurus (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dante-Epicurus-Dualistic-Fulfilment-Perspectives/dp/1907975799/2) (Legenda: 2013). Dr George Corbett, Junior Research Fellow, Trinity College, Cambridge, will present the whole research process attached to his book recently published, from its beginning in doctoral work, and then focus on three elements: research questions; methodological approaches; conclusions and new beginnings. Refreshments and snacks will be served in the Graduate Centre from 12.30.
On Thursday 24th October, at 5.15pm, in Pembroke College (venue tbc) Alessandra Diazzi, PhD candidate, Darwin College, Cambridge, will be the respondent of Dr Francesco Capello on a paper on the ideas of "intersubjective analytic third" (Ogden) and field theory (Baranger&Baranger, Corrao, Ferro). The title of the second seminar is "Psychoanalysis and Literature: from Application to Conversation". According to these theories, the analyst is no longer conceptualised as a blank screen onto which the patient's affects and conflicts are projected, and the focus has shifted to the impact and implications of his inevitable emotional involvement (conscious and unconscious) in the analytic relationship; the archaeological metaphor of therapy as a discovery of repressed unconscious conflicts is increasingly abandoned in favour of a constructive one. The implications of this major revolution in psychoanalytic thought for literary studies - a revolution to which Italian analysts have given an important contribution, and with which psychoanalytically-oriented literary studies, including Italian studies, have not yet sufficiently engaged.
We would also like invite you to:
