Thursday 25 May 2006, 18.30–20.00

Griselda Pollock, doyenne of feminist art criticism, joins Slavoj Zizek, radical social theorist and Lacanian, to debate the psychoanalytic concepts and controversies that have helped to define modern and contemporary visual representation. Pollock is a prolific author and scholar, perhaps best known for her highly influential publications Framing Feminism: Art and the Women's Movement, 1970–1985 (Harper, 1987) and Differencing the Canon: Feminist Desire and the Writing of Art's Histories (Routledge, 1999). Zizek is author of over 50 books on topics ranging from philosophy and Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis to theology, film, opera and politics. His books include Looking Awry (MIT Press, 1991) and the forthcoming The Parallax View (MIT Press, 2006).
