Paul O'Kane
Lecture Theatre
4.30pm Feb 13th
In this lecture we will consider the importance of apparently banal occurrences and phenomena to artists of modern and postmodern times. With particular reference to two Freud essays, ‘Parapraxes’ (on ‘slips of the tongue’ and other revealing errors) and ‘The Uncanny’, we will see how Freud’s ideas have special relevance to an age of urban, bourgeois life, and to art influenced by mechanised images – photography and film.
We will also refer to the 2005 film Hidden (Caché) by Michael Haneke (please watch) and the essay ‘Judgment Day’ by Giorgio Agamben. Sigmund Freud (2002), ‘Parapraxes’, in Ben Highmore (ed.), The Everyday Life Reader, London : Routledge
Can't find the source of 'Judgement Day' by Girogio Agamben is it part of the Sigmund Freud (20020 reference ?
