ROUNDTABLE

Around Marguerite Duras

 

Singular literature. Marguerite Duras revealed her secret: she put her writing where her passion was. This was the source of her astonishing strength, through which she ensnared readers. And her sharp writing, based on the limits of experience, found an awakening in psychoanalysis. The meeting between Jacques Lacan and Marguerite Duras marked a turning point for them both.

Moderator: Carmen Alda, Director of the Camp Freudià Library in Barcelona.
Speakers: Marta Segarra, Director of the Women and Literature Centre at the Philology Department at the University of Barcelona; Ana Maria Moix, writer and translator; Miquel Bassols, psychoanalyst and member of the Lacanian Orientation School.
