Conference Announcement
The Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies
University of Essex, Colchester
Presents a One-day Conference
Why the Mainstream Needs its Margins: The Function
of the Marginalised in Psyche and Society
Saturday, 13 November 2010
For decades sociologists, politicians, historians and identity theorists have been concerned to reintegrate invisible and discarded groups from the margins of society. We have learned to listen for voices beyond the boundaries of dominant groupings – regarding ethnic or gender identities; the criminalised and disenfranchised; the migrant and the underclass. But the margins are at the same time some of the most highly visible aspects of society. Daily the media turn their lens on immigrants, on anti-social youths, on gays, on ethnic minorities, and on the mentally ill. The engendering of moral panic over those who exist on the margins is central to the way non-marginal and mainstream identities function. This one-day conference brings together sociological, historical and psychoanalytic perspectives to examine the margins as a symptom of so-called ‘normal’ identity. What do we project onto the margins, how are they identified with, how do they operate as part of the psychic economy of the mainstream? Could a centre exist without its margins?
Panels on:
What Happened to Deviance?
Immigration: Fantasies and Realities
Panic, Trauma and Making Enemies
Marginalising the Fear of Madness
Speakers include:
Simon Clarke (UwE), Colin Samson (Essex), Karl Figlio (Essex), Jeffrey Murer (St Andrews), Eamonn Carrabine (Essex), Tim Dartington (Tavistock Institute), Joan Busfield (Essex), Aaron Balick (Essex)
Cost: £55 for the day (£35 students/unwaged)

Open Seminar
Centre for Psychoanalytic Studies
University of Essex
Wednesday 2nd June 2010
Room 4N.6.1
5.00pm – 6:30pm
Dr Leon Burnett
‘The Construction of a Fantasia: Dostoevsky’s Meek Girl and Two Russian Suicides’
Dr Leon Burnett is a Reader in Literature and Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Comparative Studies at the University of Essex. His publications are mainly in Comparative Literature. Research areas of particular interest include modern European poetry, literary translation, myth in modern culture, and Russian literature. He has edited F. M. Dostoevsky (1821-1881): A Centenary Collection (1981) and Word in Time: Poetry, Narrative, Translation (1997), and is currently co-editing The Art of Accommodation: Literary Translation in Russia (publication expected later this year). From 1992 to 2000 he was the main editor of New Comparison: a Journal of Comparative and General Literary Studies.
Abstract: In A Writer’s Diary (October, 1876), Dostoevsky juxtaposed two reports of recent and contrasting female suicides, concluding with the question “which of these two souls bore more torment on earth”? The next instalment of the journal (November, 1876) contained a single piece of writing, “The Meek Girl: A Fantastic Story”, clearly based on the second of the two contemporary cases. The suicides served to bring together in Dostoevsky’s mind concepts that he had previously treated separately and, in his view, unsuccessfully: effacement (in The Double) and enigma (in The Idiot). Stimulated by a desire to comprehend the “psychological sequence” of events leading up to the act of suicide, Dostoevsky returned in “The Meek Girl” to these concepts, transferring the focus from male protagonists to an unnamed female character. I shall be looking at how, in this late work, he took up the challenge of finding an appropriate form to express an impenetrable theme.
