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). Her current research focuses on the meanings and symptoms of hysteria in the nineteenth century\, and critical re-investigation of hysterical scenes in Tanztheater. Recently\, she presented papers at CUNY at Graudate Center conference Approaching Dance\, NCSA Caucus in Charleston\, the Department of Visual Arts conference at UCSD (2015)\, ACLA 2015 in Seattle\, a Graduate Conference of the Department of English at the University of Chicago (2014)\, and Choreography Symposium at the University of Cologne (2014)\, At the artistic residence in Spread Art in Detroit (2015)\, the University of Arts Belgrade (2015)\, and at the  Le Couvent artistic residence in Auzits\, France (2016). Marija has worked with the lecture/performance mode of examining elusive boundaries between practice and theory. Marija has published papers in The International Journal of the Arts in Society (2009 and 2011)\, and The Journal of Arts Theory and History (2013). She has written articles and conducted interviews for the Belgrade dance publication Orchestra.

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).

SUMMARY:Existentialism and the Anti-Psychiatry Movement
DESCRIPTION:Existentialism and the Anti-Psychiatry Movement:\nConsiderations on Laing\, Cooper\, Schizoid-analysis and Radio Alice\nA two-week presentation by Michael Pelias\nTuesday\, May 9 and 16\, 7:30 to 9:30 pm \nBehind the anti-psychiatry movement that blossomed during the 1970s was the fundamental post-Freudian work of Jean-Paul Sartre’s existential psychoanalysis. This highly creative approach by Sartre was named “existential psychoanalysis” and was first articulated at the end of the classic\, Being and Nothingness (1943). We will read a selection of this new approach to psychic individuation alongside the Laing/Cooper nexus that sprung the anti-psychiatry movement and resulted in open psychiatric institutions\, mental health liberation activity\, and an on-going critique of “bourgeois” psychiatry and contemporary behaviorism\, cognitive and psycho-pharmacological approaches to the question of what is mental health. We will also look at Laing’s famous proposition that schizophrenia is the sanest reaction to capitalism and engage the schizoid analysis of Deleuze and Guattari alongside the anti-psychiatry moment of Basaglia and Radio Alice in Italy.  \nAt minimum\, please read this section from Laing’s Politics of Experience at Marxists.org: https://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/en/laing.htm \nMichael Pelias teaches both ancient and modern Philosophy at Long Island University\, Brooklyn and is one of the co-founders of the Institute for the Radical Imagination and co-managing editor of the journal Situations.  \nThose who are participating in the New Left course on Tuesday evenings are already enrolled for these two sessions. \nFees listed below are sliding scale. No one is turned away for inability to pay.
