http://www.egs.edu/ Bracha L. Ettinger, Israeli-French psychoanalyst, painter, artist and feminist theorist, discussing her paintings, notebooks and work on the matrixial borderspace, trans-subjectivity, co-poiesis and trauma. She describes the relation between her artistic practice and psychoanalytic practice. Bracha L. Ettinger at a public open lecture for the students of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2007 Born in Tel Aviv (and of Israeli and British nationality), Bracha L. Ettinger received her Ph.D. in Aesthetics of Art from the University of Paris VIII, a D.E.A. in Psychoanalysis from the University of Paris VII, and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is the Marcel Duchamp Professor of Psychoanalysis and Art at the Media & Communications Division, European Graduate School (EGS), Saas-Fee. She lives in Paris. Bracha L. Ettinger presents an original theoretical exploration of shared affect and emergent expression, across the thresholds of identity and memory. Ettinger works through Lacan's late works, the anti-Oedipal perspectives of Deleuze and Guattari, as well as object-relations theory to critique the phallocentrism of mainstream Lacanian theory and to rethink the masculine-feminine opposition. She replaces the phallic structure with a dimension of emergence, where objects, images, and meanings are glimpsed in their incipiency, before they are differentiated. This is the matrixial realm, a shareable, psychic dimension that underlies the individual unconscious and experience. Professor Ettinger is author of several books and more than seventy psychoanalytical essays on what she has named matrixial trans-subjectivity. Bracha L. Ettinger is the author of The Matrixial Borderspace (2006), Thinking the Feminine (2004), The Matrixial Gaze (1995), Lictenberg Ettinger, Bracha. Matrix-Borderlines (1993), Matrix: A Shift Beyond the Phallus (1993), and co-authored Bracha Lichtenberg Ettinger: Artworking: 1985-1999 (2000), 3x An Abstraction: New Methods of Drawing by Hilma af Klint, Emma Kunz, and Agnes Martin (2005), What Would Euridyce Say? with Emmanuel Levinas (1997), A Threshold Where We Are Afraid with Edmund Jabès (1993) and Time is the Breath of the Spirit (1993) with Emmanuel Levinas.
