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
How did violence come about, ex nihilo? Introducing an empirical analysis of 140 experimental sessions, this presentation will reveal an unlikely candidate for the success with which the experimenter in Stanley Milgram’s infamous “obedience to authority experiments” kept his reluctant participants administering electric shocks against a victim’s will and painful cries. This finding will then be expanded towards a psychoanalytically oriented theory of implicit violence – a framework to potentially help us understand not only Milgram’s violence, but beyond.
Chaired by Niall Gildea; The paper will be followed by short comments and discussion from four other contributors: Louise Braddock (convener), Arthur Bradley (Lancaster), Louise Gyler (Aust.P.S.), and Sherrill Stroschein (UCL).
