The Ends of Analysis: Book talks with Gabriel Tupinambá and Mohamed Tal

Wednesday June 21, 2023
7pm Beirut time

Joining the 2023 BICAR Summer School virtually, psychoanalysts Gabriel Tupinambá and Mohamed Tal will briefly introduce their recent books, the former’s The Desire of Psychoanalysis: Exercises in Lacanian Thinking (2021) and the latter’s The End of Analysis: Dialectics of Symbolic and Real before entering into a discussion with Nadia Bou Ali about the broader threads of the limits and challenges of psychoanalysis. What is the political import of psychoanalysis in a moment of rampant fantasies of the end (of the world)?

Mohamed Tal is a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst. He had a private practice in Beirut from 2009 until 2022, when he moved to Dubai to practice. He is an affiliate of the Rome Institute and a member of the Beirut Institute for Critical Analysis and Research (BICAR). Dr Tal has worked as a psychotherapist with humanitarian organizations in the Middle East, including Doctors Without Borders, WarChild Holland, Handicap International, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit. He also taught a seminar on “the Real” at the École Libanaise de Psychanalyse from 2018 to 2021.

Gabriel Tupinambá is a philosopher and psychoanalyst working from Rio de Janeiro. He is the Head of Social Strategy at the Alameda institute (www.alameda.institute) and a member of the research collective Subset for Theoretical Practice (www.theoreticalpractice.com). He is the author of The Desire of Psychoanalysis (NUP, 2021), and co-author of the book An Architecture of Edges: The Lefts in Times of World Peripheralization (Autonomia Literária, 2022) and Hegel, Lacan, Žižek (Altropos Press, 2013).
