'One splits into two, two doesn't merge into one'. The slogan made  
quite a
stir in its day, combining the air of a purely mathematical axiom with a
political mandate. Under the cloak of a universal truth there lies a
political dagger. The formula combines under the same heading a
mathematical adage, an ontological statement, and a political stance. So
why does one split into two, necessarily, in mathematics, in ontology,  
and
in politics? And why, once we arrive at Two, at a foundational split,  
can
we never return to the supposed unity of One? The different lectures  
will
explore this problem from Hegel to Lacan, from sexuality to politics.

APR 28-29. SITUATING MENTAL ILLNESS. BETWEEN SCIENTIFIC CERTAINTY AND  
PERSONAL NARRATIVE
http://www.ici-berlin.org/event/359/

========================================================================

Contemporary neuroscience tends to reduce mental illness to brain-based
operations, instantiating a division between biology and culture,
mechanism and context, brain and biography. This has the effect of
marginalising a richer, inner-subjective and ethical complex of meaning,
personal history and agency. This meeting surveys recent significant
shifts in biological psychiatry for the assessment of mental illness and
questions their validity and limitations. It also explores nuances and
interstices between the regard of disorders as neurochemical flaws or
experiential conditions, the cultural history of psychopathologies and  
how
brain-based accounts of mental illness circulate in the public domain  
and
are incorporated in culture.
