From the instructor: Explores the scientific, social, and political relevance of the (post) Freudian psyche. Examines how psychoanalysis coincides with the development of postwar cybernetics and cognitive science, as well as how psychical processes (e.g., projection, introjection, transference, splitting, repression, dissociation, identification, sublimation) relate to cybernetic concerns (e.g., information, communication, probability and prediction, artificial intelligence). Approaches theories of the psyche/mind from various disciplinary perspectives.
