How do you manage the tension between being a public figure with the expectation that analytic theorists should be distant and not self disclose?
Description
In today's episode Guilaine responds to a query that came up when she recently received an honorary doctorate related to her contribution to analytic and psychodynamic theory and psychodynamic and analytic practice, specifically in relation to marginalised groups and race.
She reflects on how she feels about this doctorate in terms of her personal journey within academia, how this doctorate is (so far) her most significant career achievement, and that it has a similar narrative arc to her experience of writing her first book Living While Black: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/442992/living-while-black-by-kinouani-guilaine/9781529109436
She teases out the ideas around this question, considering social media, transparency, reflexivity, intersectionality, disclosure, accessibility, connection, cartesian dualism, trauma, splitting, joy, beauty, pleasure, resistance and sharing work when it is still half formed.
