Nostalgia and Absence: Fragmented Memories of a Lost “Home”
October 3 @ 9:00 am - 10:30 am PDT
In 2023, Dr. Adelman published a paper exploring the challenges of leaving home, the trauma of losing home, and the reparation of finding home across the intergenerational trauma and loss (Adelman, A.J. 2023. “Leaving, Losing and Finding Home: Through the Shadow of Trauma, Psychoanalytic Inquiry,” 43:6, 456-467). The author, having grown up in the shadow of the Holocaust, formed a sense of home around the idea that the past was a broken and vanished continent. Since that time, the experiences of “leaving” and “losing” home have taken on once again complex, traumatic and ominous meanings. Dr. Adelman will examine the notion of leaving and losing home, of separation and loss, and of what happens when one’s sense of home is permanently shattered.
