Associate Professor Matthew Del Nevo, who is in the Department of Philosophy at the Catholic Institute of Sydney, will be giving a talk entitled ‘The Line, the Symbol and Lacan’.
The line is a metaphor from Plato’s Republic. The presentation will work through this metaphor and then relate the theory of the unconscious and a theory of the symbol to it (Cassirer, Elliot R. Wolfson), before then locating Lacan within this overall cultural sensibility. This seminar aims to shed a light on Lacan in which he is not usually (or ever) seen, but which Lacan himself would have been very well aware of. All welcome!
