PRESENTATION:
There is no love of truth without an unconditional acceptance of death. –Simone Weil (epigraph to Dr. Virsida's The Death Drive: Psychic Construction or Destruction?)
Among the many things to be learned from the work and teachings of Dr. Antonio Virsida is a renewed appreciation for Freud’s concept of the Death Drive. In this two-part presentation, Dr. Reisner will revisit and expand upon Dr. Virsida’s acute understanding of the death drive.
In part one, Dr. Reisnerwill present the history of Freud’s concepts of drive, beginning with sexuality and hunger, moving on to sex and ego and ultimately to narcissistic and object drives. He will then expand upon Antonio’s view that the life and death drives, understood as the interweaving pleasures inherent in desire (life) and satisfaction (death), must be integrated into all aspects of our being if we are to live lives that are rich, courageous, poignant and meaningful. In part two, Dr. Reisner will show how such an understanding is not only essential for clinical work and personal growth, but necessary, too, to overcome fear and paralysis in the face of the two great threats of our day: authoritarianism and the climate emergency. We are faced with an American President and a growing number of authoritarians around the world, who encourage the population to deny death and its partner, truth. Dr. Reisner will argue that only by embracing mortality and respecting the death drive can we truly release an empowered life force. Only by facing death can we know what we value and risk fighting for it. PRESENTER:
