SUMMARY:The Last Dance Meets The Last Repast
DESCRIPTION:The Politics of the Unconscious: HYSTERIA\, SURREALISM\, & AVANT-GARDE DANCE\nOur Guide: Marija Krtolica\nWinter 2019 Version\nPresentation with discussion\nThe talk examines the historico-political relationships between: the psychiatric transformation of madness into mental illness\, the psychoanalytic discovery of the unconscious\, the surrealist anti-psychiatric art\, and dance-theater’s embodied expression stripped of narrative development. Hysteria as one of the most theatrical of mental illnesses\, presents a point of departure for a discussion of the ways in which since modernism the artists resisted psychiatric diagnosis based on a reductive reading of symptoms. The talk will place the artistic explorations from modernism and post-modernism in a dialogue with the ideas from Lacanian psychoanalysis. \nPerformance: Theorizing Symptomatic Expression\nGroup movement improvisation:  Hystero-Grotesque Mode\nIntermission \nA surreal meal à la Dalí will be served \nTheorizing Symptomatic Expression \n“The jaws of my mind are in perpetual motion.\nThe sensual intelligence housed in the tabernacle of my palate\nbeckons me to pay greatest attention to food.\nI only like to eat what has a clear and intelligible form.”\n—Salvador Dali\, Gastro Esthetics \n“The spectacle corresponds to the historical moment at which\nthe commodity completes the colonization of social life.”\n—Guy Debord\, Society of the Spectacle \nMARIJA KRTOLICA (b. 1973\, Belgrade) is an international movement artist\, dance researcher and teacher (BFA NYU\, MFA UC Davis\, MA NYU\, PhD\, Dance\,Temple University). Her current research focuses on the meanings and symptoms of hysteria in the nineteenth century\, and critical re-investigation of hysterical scenes in Tanztheater. At the artistic residence in Spread Art in Detroit\, the University of Arts\, Belgrade\, and at the Le Couvent artistic residence in Auzits\, France.

SUMMARY:Politics of the Unconscious and Surrealist Brunch
DESCRIPTION:“If a truth is never communicable as such\, it nevertheless implies\, at a distance from itself\, powerful reshapings of the forms and referents of communication.”\n(L’ethique: Essai sur la conscience du Mal (1993)\, Alain Badiou) \nThe Politics of the Unconscious and a Surrealist Brunch\nMarija Krtolica \n“If a truth is never communicable as such\, it nevertheless implies\, at a distance from itself\, powerful reshapings of the forms and referents of communication.”  (L’ethique: Essai sur la conscience du Mal (1993)\, Alain Badiou) \nOver brunch\, the political meanings of Dadaist and Surrealist art\, film and poetry will be discussed along with the grotesque dances by Valeska Gert (Weimar Era)\, and dance-theater of Pina Bausch and Mats Ek (1970s-80s). We will explore how the aesthetic de-hierarchicalization and commodity culture inform our practices as witnesses and art makers. We will investigate ways of synthesizing the critical writings on capitalism and schizophrenia (Gilles Deleuze\, 1972) and the politics of aesthetics (Jacques Rancière\, 2004). There may even be a performance event. \nMarija Krtolica (b. 1973\, Belgrade) is an international movement artist\, dance researcher and teacher (BFA NYU\, MFA UC Davis\, MA NYU\, completing PhD in dance at Temple University in Philadelphia).

SUMMARY:Politics of the Unconscious: Second Sessions
DESCRIPTION:“If a truth is never communicable as such\, it nevertheless implies\, at a distance from itself\, powerful reshapings of the forms and referents of communication.”\n(L’ethique: Essai sur la conscience du Mal (1993)\, Alain Badiou) \nThe Politics of the Unconscious:\nHysteria\, Surrealism\, and Avant-Garde Dance\nWith a Surrealist Brunch on Day Two\nMarija Krtolica\nTwo Sundays \nStarting with the fin-de-siècle Parisian hospital Salpêtrière\, we will touch upon the historical resonances of the invention of mental pathology\, and aesthetic forms that resonance has instigated. We will first engage Freud and Lacan on hysteria\, and then consider feminist and other critical re-readings of their work. This will bring us to look at the images of the mental patients of this period\, many of which challenge the boundary between artistic representation and medical documentation. In light of day one\, during the following Sunday\, over a Surrealist Brunch\, the political meanings of Dadaist and Surrealist art\, film and poetry will be discussed along with the grotesque dances by Valeska Gert (Weimar Era)\, and dance-theater of Pina Bausch and Mats Ek (1970s-80s). We will explore how the aesthetic de-hierarchicalization and commodity culture inform our practices as witnesses and art makers. We will investigate ways of synthesizing the critical writings on capitalism and schizophrenia (Gilles Deleuze\, 1972) and the politics of aesthetics (Jacques Rancière\, 2004 )\, with a performance event. \nMarija Krtolica (b. 1973\, Belgrade) is an international movement artist\, dance researcher and teacher (BFA NYU\, MFA UC Davis\, MA NYU\, completing PhD in dance at Temple University in Philadelphia).
