Argument
What does it mean to be oneself? When considering this issue, two approaches
are unavoidable, as they both devote their investigations to the question of
who one is, in one’s singularity. On the one hand, phenomenology defines the
subject in terms of one’s conscious experience; on the other hand,
psychoanalysis roots the subject in the unconscious. Across this rough
divide, these two conceptualizations of the subject appear as
irreconcilable. Nonetheless, it is precisely this irreconcilability that we
aim at interrogating during this conference.
Is unconsciousness beyond phenomenal experience?
Is unconsciousness beyond phenomenological investigation?
