This event addresses: “The Maternal Death Drive”

Lisa Baraitser in conversation with Katie Gentile, and Lynne Zeavin, moderator This “conversation” will focus on Lisa Baraitser’s understanding of a ‘maternal death drive’. This supplements Freud’s death drive by accounting for the temporality of repetition that retains a relation to the future but remains distinct from a life drive.
