| Lutecium a non-school of Lacanian/Freudian Psychoanalysis San Francisco, California |
| Psychoanalysis and Poetics Talk & reading by David Marriott, Ph.D. Event description is forthcoming |
Poet and critic, David Marriott, was born and educated in England and received his Ph.D. in literature from the University of Sussex. His
first book, On Black Men (Edinburgh University Press, 2000; Columbia University Press, 2000), was an interdisciplinary study of how
models of selfhood come to acquire cultural recognition through the aberrant fictions of race. His second book, Haunted Life: Visual
Culture and Black Modernity (2006, Rutgers University Press) extends this meditation on discourses of inwardness and the
paradigmatic aberrations of race into a comparative study of black atlantic modernism.
Incognegro (Salt Publications, 2006) is his most recent book of poetry - a collection of poems and prose drawn from journals and
chapbooks, plus previously unpublished pieces, centered around the black European and American literary/historical experience.
Dr. Marriott is also coeditor (with Vicky Lebeau) of Psychoanalysis and Poetics (1998, Fragmente) and has written many articles on
poetics. His present project, The Two Freedoms, is a critical study of C.L.R. James and Jules Marcel Monnerot. Dr. Marriott joined the
University of California, Santa Cruz faculty in 2003 and is professor of History of Consciousness. His academic interests include literary
theory, psychoanalysis, black cultural theory and philosophies of race, and the literary and visual cultures of modernism.
