Venue: Christ Church College, Lecture Room 1 at Tom 8 (1st floor), St Aldate's, Oxford OX1 1DP
Time: 9.30-16.30
How does temporal experience shape our sense of the world and of the self? How do unconscious, pre-reflective and conscious disruptions of temporality affect perceptions and agency of people suffering from mental illness? This one-day workshop examines the theme of lived time and lived body in mental disorders from a broadly construed phenomenological perspective. The workshop is a concluding event of the seminar on “Psychopathology of time and body”, which brought together philosophers and mental health practitioners working in the tradition of existential phenomenology.
