About this Event
Description: This presentation explores the role of perversion and disavowal in relation to contemporary culture along with the voice as a privileged objet a and the role of technology. Taking the film Her (2013) as a case study for contemporary discontent, the seminar Margeurite considers how this is showing up in clinical work and draws on her current research on how AI-chatbots may reshape and challenge human subjectivity and desire. Advance reading and CPD points available.
