I apologize if this is a repeat message to any of you, but please respond, if you're interested, by July 31. I hope to create a panel proposal for the APCS Conference (Assoc. for the Psychoanalysis of Culture and Society, a primarily Lacanian group) in New York, Oct. 29-31, on screen (and stage) violence as social symptom, currently or historically. If you'd like to present such a paper, please contact me by email before the end of July. (My own presentation would be on the American TV series, MILLENNIUM, as creating a potentially cathartic theatre for Lacanian "self-sacrifice," while also showing the risks of melodramatic splitting, symptomatic of most TV drama.)
