Öffentlicher Vortrag zu Innerem Rassismus
Unser Autor M. Fakhry Davids hält am 11. September 2020 einen öffentlichen zoom-Vortrag zu »Internal Racism«. Der Vortrag ist in Englisch und wird per Zoom übertragen. Die Anmeldung ist unter www.freud-institut.ch möglich.
Zum Inhalt:
The concept of internal racism arose out of a need to make sense of a breakdown in functioning, accompanied by a pull to political correctness, that can arise when clinician and patient are from different ethnicities or cultures. I suggest that this stems from unconscious guilt associated with internal racism, which a feature of the normal human mind. I begin with a historical example of an analyst’s failure to recognise her patient’s response to her racist stereotyping of him, which led to the treatment breaking down. I show how an understanding of internal racist mechanisms can shed light on this problem. I then outline the model of internal racism, which accounts for how a relationship between self and »racial« other is installed internally. I end with case material that illustrates the complex ways in which the racist structure was deployed as a defence against awareness of dependency, and the clinical problems that flowed from this.
