Cultural and psychoanalytic heritage, role models and art looting from Sasha Rolde on IP.net

Dear colleagues,

With the world remembering 9/11 and talk of war in the air again, it seems fitting yet again that our posts reflect the history of the world as well as of psychoanalytic thought. This week these reviews seem particularly pronounced. I will mention some in my own list below. Please feel free to comment on the website.

My choices this week are as follows:

1) To begin with, the Announcements Category is brimming with interesting events, and if you can attend any or all of them, please do. I am only focusing on 3 posts, but there are others.
a))Note the reprise to WWI and the Jews – the more things change the more they remain the same, n’est-ce pas?

For that reason, but also because the topic is fascinating, I encourage you to go to NYPSI to hear “Knowledge & Limitations with Joseph Kohn, who was born in Prague, Tim Maudlin, Priyamvada Natarajan, & Dorothea von M**cke at The Helix Center on September 20, 2014” See the Announcement.

VIII. YIVO News and Events

a)Abraham Sutzkever: The Power in Poetry
Wednesday, September 10 | 7:00pm

b)The Annual Naomi Prawer Kadar Memorial Lecture
Ruth Wisse, Professor Emerita, Harvard University
RSVP

The Yiddish poet Abraham Sutzkever came of age in Vilna in the 1920s and 30s when Yiddish poetry was the favored creative outlet of its Jewish youth. For him, poetry-but only if good enough-was more than self-expression, more than beauty and truth: the power of rhyme was the endurance manifest in nature and in the Jewish people. ***That is poetry. / Touch it so lightly that you don***t leave a fingerprint.*** In this talk, acclaimed literary scholar Ruth Wisse puts Sutzkever***s poetry to his own test. Professor David Roskies delivers introductory remarks. Sponsored by the Naomi Prawer Kadar Foundation, Inc. ***.

Myths of Termination: What Patients Can Teach Psychoanalysts About Endings, by Judy Kantrowitz (forward by Glenn Gabbard, MD) Routledge 2014.

Resolving myths to histories permits us to build more autonomous futures. ***..

XVI. New from IPBooks: Pretend Ballads by Edward McCrorie

On September 11, 2001, I was having dental work done in Providence, Rhode Island, when news of the attacks came through. My wife, Beatrice Beebe, was at work in New York City only a few miles from the World Trade Center. When we reunited later that week, we knew our lives were changing, and I encouraged her idea to help in Manhattan somehow, since she was well experienced aiding mothers with young children.
The poems, prose and pictures in this book are a culmination of many discussions, readings, clinical help and sundry emotions over the past twelve years. But I did not realize there might be poetry here until December, ***..
