[ecrea] new publication: embodied encounters

Embodied Encounters: New Approaches to Cinema and Psychoanalysis has 
just been published by Routledge.  I have had the privilege of editing 
it and leading an astonishing group of internationally renowned scholars 
who work in psychoanalysis and film. We come from different theoretical 
backgrounds, deal with documentary and fiction, and are united in our 
conviction that psychoanalysis still has a lot to offer to film studies.



The contributors to the volume include in alphabetical order Robert 
Burgoyne, Elizabeth Cowie, Carla Ambrosio Garcia, Joanna Dogalis, 
Stephen Frosh, John Izod, Luke Hockley, Vicky Lebeau, Carol 
MacGillivray, Nicholas Muellner, Michael Renov, Naomi Segal, Ben Tyrer, 
Emma Wilson and myself. You can learn more about the book here:

 On 27th October please join us at the Freud Museum for symposium which 
will celebrate the book and the new ways of thinking about the 
unconscious and the body in film. My institution, the University of 
Bedfordshire, is generously supporting the event again offering all 
participants coffee, a light lunch and drinks and canapés  at the actual 
launch.

The event is free and students are welcome but please register soonest:
