Interrogating “the Social Unconscious” – 25th January

BSA Sociology, Psychoanalysis and the Psychosocial Study Group

in collaboration with the Birkbeck Institute for Social Research

 

Interrogating “the Social Unconscious”
Friday 25 January 2013  2pm – 5pm  Room 101, 30 Russell Square

 

What is meant by the concept of “the social unconscious”? What is it trying to capture, and is it a notion that can truly bring sociology and psychoanalysis into dialogue? How is it used in clinical work, and how might it be used in social research?

 

This seminar features a talk by Earl Hopper, group analyst and psychoanalyst and author of “The Social Unconscious: selected papers” (2003, Jessica Kingsley) and co-editor of  “The Social Unconscious in Persons, Groups and Societies: Volume 1” (2010, Karnac), followed by responses from Sasha Roseneil, Professor of Sociology and Social Theory, Birkbeck, University of London, and Christopher Scanlon, Consultant Psychotherapist and Group Analyst.
