SUMMARY:CANCELED: Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis Colloquium with Gila Ashtor: Erotophobia: Laplanche\, Queer Theory & Psychoanalysis (registration required)
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. \n\nIn contemporary psychoanalysis\, it has become popular to accuse the clinical field of hating sex\, hating pleasure\, and being generally – both in its theory and in its techniques – hostile and averse to sex and sexuality. Although this isn’t a particularly new argument – French psychoanalysis has been accusing American psychoanalysis of this in one form or another for the past seventy-five years – the argument has taken on new momentum with the popularization of queer theory. In this presentation\, I will draw on the work of Jean Laplanche to challenge this popular argument by showing that it depends on a simplistic version of queer theory that totally misrecognizes its radical potential. In so doing\, I will demonstrate that to the extent we are afraid of sexuality it may have less to do with sensational\, exotic or shattering sex\, but sexuality in relation to otherness\, desire that thrusts and propels us toward others in ways we can’t comprehend and can’t quite escape. I elaborate Laplanche’s account of “enlarged sexuality” to elaborate “erotophobia” as the denial of enlarged sexuality.\n  \nThe Manhattan Institute is a NY State approved provider of continuing education hours for: LCSW\, LMSW\, LCAT\, LMHC and Licensed Psychologists. \nFor in-person attendance you will receive an E-ticket through Eventbrite. \nTICKETS: $50.00 \n  \nplease RSVP here to attend in person\nStudents at other Institutes can purchase tickets for $25.00\n(Proof of student status required) \nMIP candidates can attend for free. \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of\nThe LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \n  \nStudents also have the option of attending virtually: \nplease RSVP here to attend via Zoom\n  \n  \nGila Ashtor\, PhD\, LP is an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychoanalysis at Columbia University.
