Memoria dell’utopia: Gramsci e noi—Angelo Villa
This biography of the revolutionary thinker Antonio Gramsci encompasses his Sardinian childhood marked by poverty and illness; his years of study, intellectual production and political activism; and his last years of imprisonment under Fascism which failed to deflect his fundamental drive toward the future.
On Child Psychoanalysis Today—Angelo Villa
Child psychoanalysis, ever since Freud’s time, has been a testing ground for our field, serving to question the basic premises of psychoanalysis. While inextricable from intergenerational history, it is also firmly marked by contemporary issues and new forms of symbolization. This workshop will focus on the analyst’s obligation to respond inventively to new symptoms in children and remain open to the unexpected.
