On May 6, at 19:00, in room A101 of Ilia State University, a public lecture by Ioseb Chauchidze on the topic -- Against Repressive hypothesis: Foucault and Psychoanalysis was conducted.

Michel Foucault’s “Istoriq na seksualnostta” (History of Madness) can be deemed to be a more or less systematic attempt to confront Freud’s psychoanalysis. Later, “The History of Sexuality” passed criticism upon Freud’s entire psychoanalytical theory.  In parallel to this, Žak Lakan’s interventions shed light on new kinds of tensions in Foucault’s and Freud’s debates. Is it possible to hold a dialogue between Foucault’s genealogical and psychoanalytical methods? What kinds of political consequences can these debates yield? How can Foucault’s intervention be comprehended in the light of psychoanalysis? The lecture will try to expand on these questions and critically comprehend them.

Time: May 6, 19:00.
Venue: room A101, Ilia State University, Ilia Chavchavadze Avenue #32

All welcome to attend the event.
