OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A person’s character can be understood as the dispositions they have to act and respond to others in ways that reflect early experience. Hanna Segal suggested that we can see a difference between acting, rationally, on our desires and acting out, by acting on phantasies. The paper looks at Wollheim’s account of the role of disposition in mental life, and its connection to unconscious phantasy and acting out.
