Please see the attached poster for our forthcoming conference from the Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies:
Why the Mainstream Needs its Margins: The Function of the Marginalised in Psyche and Society
- Could a centre exist without its margins?
- What do we project onto the margins?
- What is the nature of moral panic?
This one-day conference brings together sociological, historical and psychoanalytic perspectives to examine the margins as a symptom of so-called ‘normal’ identity.
Panels on:
- What Happened to Deviance?
- Immigration: Fantasies and Realities
- Panic, Trauma and Making Enemies
- Marginalising the Fear of Madness
