On Listening
Francis Gooding & Akshi Singh Sessions:Sundays, November 9, 16, 23, 30, December 7
6-730pm GMT, 1-230pm EST, 10-1130am PST
Meets online.
Course Description:
Psychoanalysis is premised on how listening can be revelatory and transformative. It is a talking cure yes, but equally a being listened to, and learning to listen cure. In this short course, we pair psychoanalytic discussions of what it means to listen and how to do it with histories and practices of radical listening drawn from music and activism. Together we will explore what it means to listen more expansively, and why it can feel immensely difficult, even excruciating, to listen. Alongside discussions of set texts, each session will also include a guided listening exercise and time for discussion and reflection.
Akshi Singh is an Associate Editor at Parapraxis and Deputy Editor at Critical Quarterly. In Defence of Leisure, a memoir about reading the work of the writer, artist, and psychoanalyst Marion Milner is out with Vintage Books. She is a Lacanian analyst in formation.
Francis Gooding is a writer and Contributing Editor at the London Review of Books, a regular columnist for The Wire, and Contributing Editor at Critical Quarterly. He has written widely on music, ecology, anthropology, colonial film, and art.
Full fee: $450, Reduced fee: $250.
