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
My imagination was caught, now 25 years ago by new work in the form of accurate drawings in the anatomical, biological, medical world. To me this work challenged Freud’s masculinist, phallocentric views of female sexuality. But it also underlined psychoanalytic work throughout the 20th century, largely from women, which searched the unconscious and ‘knew’ that woman’s makeup was more comparable to man’s, just hidden inside and adapted evolutionarily for childbirth. My talk will describe how the book was received, inevitably with controversy and mild discomfort, evidenced by 2 previous talks and the one professional review I have seen as yet.
