In its 2004 meeting,
The English Institute will be exploring new work on the significance of repetition for
literary and cultural (re)production. The speakers in our topic session will address the
role of recycling of many kinds (of moveable type, of rags to paper, of illustrations, but
also of kinds of narratives and of objects within narratives) across a broad range of
book-making and fiction-writing. Our genre session will consider serial forms and
practices in several media, from comic books and minimalist music to the serial poem and
the Proustian novel.
The author we are considering this year is Charles Dickens; presentations on his work will
focus on such topics as temporality and "diabolic" repetition. In our annual
concluding roundtable discussion, we shall return to some classic writings of Freud's on
the theory of repetition.
This year's round table discussion on Sunday September 12 will include the following
selections by Freud: "Remembering, Repeating, and Working-Through" and
"Beyond the Pleasure Principle" sections I, II, and III.
Roundtable readings are now available online. Once you have registered, please contact
