During the lecture ‘Was will der Mann. Reflections on Freud’s civilisations and its discontents’ (in Dutch) emeritus professor Maaike Meijer and writer Bas Heijne will discuss Freuds essay civilisations and its discontents.
The lecture takes place at ‘De Balie’, Amsterdam, on 16 January at 20.00.
In the essay, Freud devotes specific attention to the concept of ‘death drive’.
In an essay especially written for this lecture, Maaike Meijer will reflect upon what literary imaging of this death drive means to us. After her lecture, she will further discuss this with Bas Heijne.
