DARIAN LEADER
Is Sex Possible?
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4TH, 2023
10:00AM – 12:00PM
VIA ZOOM
Given childhood anxieties and terrors about the body and its boundaries, how does sex ever become possible? Darian Leader will explore this question, hoping to create a dialogue between analytic perspectives and work from other disciplines that study sexuality and its history.
Darian Leader is a psychoanalyst working in London and a member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research and of The College of Psychoanalysts-UK. He is the author of several books including: ‘Why do women write more letters than they post?’; ‘Freud’s Footnotes’; ‘Stealing the Mona Lisa: What Art Stops Us From Seeing’; ‘Why do people get ill?’ (with David Corfield) , ‘The New Black: Mourning, Melancholia and Depression’, ‘What is Madness?’ , ‘Strictly Bipolar’, ‘Hands’, ‘Why Can’t We Sleep? (2019) and ‘Jouissance; Sexuality, Suffering and Satisfaction’, (2021). He writes frequently about contemporary art.
