Event overview
Re-orienting faith alongside the analytic space
This webinar, hosted by Dr Rozina Anwar, explores the dynamic processes by which Muslims negotiate shifting relationships to faith through their engagement with psychoanalysis.
Rather than framing a rigid opposition between the religious and the secular, we highlight how faith can be re-oriented in response to the analytic encounter, introducing new avenues for inquiry, doubt, and renewal.
• What does it mean for a Muslim analyst, trainee, or client to engage with intervals of uncertainty in the psychoanalytic setting?
• How do personal, cultural and communal pressures shape these movements, and in turn, how might psychoanalytic theory and practice be transformed?
By foregrounding personal narratives and theoretical perspectives of analysts, writers, academics and trainees, this conversation hopes to explore how faith oscillates between conviction and its absence, ultimately recasting both individual subjectivity and the broader psychoanalytic discourse.
This will be a first of a series of conversations to take place in affiliation with the Faiths and Civil Society Unit at Goldsmiths, University of London.
