.

In her CUNY Graduate Center course, “Non-Oedipal Psychologies,” Sedgwick explored the work of Melanie Klein, Michael Balint, Christopher Bollas, and others—as well as perspectives from literature, art, and Buddhism—that emphasize the affective experience of relationships with all sorts of internal and external objects, rather than Freudian drives or the heteronormative family.

This roundtable focusses on the emotional and psychological significances of dolls, idols, talismans, and figural representations that can be used for symbol formation, projective and introjective identification, and other object relations.

Roundtable to be followed by a workshop open to all.

Materials for doll-making and other crafts will be provided, as will food and drink.

Stop by any time!
