Psychoanalysis and Poetics
with David Marriott, Ph.D.
Friday, March 19, 2010
(6pm - 8pm)

Reflecting on Mallarme's page blanche, late Beckett, and late Rothko we will explore how some writers, artists, and filmmakers,
present a certain negativizing effect inherent in the aesthetic.
___________________________

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most recent book of poetry - a collection of poems and prose drawn from journals and chapbooks, plus previously unpublished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.
