The David Binns Memorial Lecture with Peter Kline

About
Peter Kline will be presenting “Infinite Splendours: Psychoanalysis and the Sublime.” You can join us in person in Lecture Room 1 or online via Zoom.Peter’s talk will trace the connections between art, spirituality and the insights of psychoanalysis, with a special focus on the Australian novel Infinite Splendours, written by Sophie Laguna, which tells a story of childhood trauma and visual art. Using Jean Laplanche's psychoanalytic theory, Peter will explore how art comes from and transformatively restages the fundamental enigma that makes us human beings, our relation to disturbing otherness.
After the talk, everyone is invited to stay for some light refreshments and informal conversation—a great opportunity to meet others. Whether you’re deeply involved in these fields or simply curious, this promises to be an engaging and inspiring evening. We hope you will join us.
