A "video fiction" by Aleksandra Wagner, Assistant Professor of Sociology. Based on Kyong Park’s Detroit: Making it Better for You (2000), Wagner’s work tells the story of an émigré psychoanalyst who lived in Detroit between 1939 -
1989. His fictional dialogue with Park’s account of the destruction of the city of Detroit, makes this "psychoanalytic province" a center of an exploration of émigré subjectivity. The screening will be followed
by a conversation between Peter Eisinger, Henry Cohen Professor, Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy; George Prochnik, Author of Putnam Camp: Sigmund Freud, James Jackson Putnam, and the Purpose of
American Psychology (2006) and Todd Kesselman, Ph.D. Candidate, The New School for Social Research.
