Lament, Reading and Therapy   Recently updated !


Joint KCL/Oxford workshop 5 November 2018 Oriel College, Oxford

This workshop considers the composition, performance, and repetition of texts of lament, loss and healing. We understand the writing and reading of these lament traditions to be the work of therapy. Presentations will explore how interpretive communities – collective and individual – internalise, interpret and translate experiences of trauma and fracture into new readings, rewritten scripture, and radical prayer.
