SUMMARY:Beckett and the Brain
DESCRIPTION:Beckett and the Brain\n\nLike much modernist writing, Beck
 ett's work has often been read as an\nexperiment in consciousness. Exp
 lorations of the shape of the relationship\nbetween subjectivity, lang
 uage and the body remain a mainstay of much Beckett\ncriticism, while 
 the more popular cultural sense of Beckett is still resolutely\nconvin
 ced of the work's probing of the human condition. More recently, archi
 val\nsupport for Beckett's knowledge and use of neurological, psycholo
 gical and\npsychoanalytic material, allied with an increasingly domina
 nt cultural sense of\nthe mind as a complex epiphenomenon of an evolve
 d neurological substrate,\nhas produced critical studies exploring the
  suggestive resemblances between\nBeckett's textual experiments and th
 ose neurological, neuropsychological and\npsychiatric disorders that i
 lluminate the modes of functioning of the human\nbrain. What has been 
 less fully explored, however, are the methodological\nimplications of 
 reading Beckett's work alongside historical and contemporary\nneurolog
 y and psychology. What are the critical and ethical problems inherent 
 in\nrelying on a mode of 'resemblance' between Beckett's work and brai
 n science?\nWhat new kinds of critical practice might be forged betwee
 n disciplines? Might\nBeckett's work might have clinical as well as cr
 itical uses?\n\nThe London Beckett Seminar is hosting a morning of 'po
 sition papers' and\ndiscussion on the topic of 'Beckett and the Brain'
  to explore some of these\nquestions. Speakers include:\n\nLiz Barry (
 Warwick)\nPeter Fifield (Oxford)\nJonny Heron (Warwick)\nUlrike Maude 
 (Durham)\nAdam Piette (Sheffield)\nLaura Salisbury (Birkbeck)\n\nRoom 
 203, Birkbeck, Clore Management Centre, Torrington Square.\n\n10.30-1p
 m, 24 June 2010.\n\nAll welcome.\n\nDr Laura Salisbury\nSchool of Engl
 ish and Humanities\nBirkbeck College\n0207 0790693\n\nOrganised by the
