For the second reading group session + discussion lead by Jo Harrison at Almanac, the central focus will be inspired by the current Sam Tierney exhibition, 'Prophet's Constipation', and consider the idea of narcissism.
This session will review extracts taken from the chapter on 'Self-Consciousness' by R.D. Laing in 'The Divided Self' (1955) and Anthony Gidden's 'Modernity and Self-Identity: Self and Society in the Late Modern Age' (1991). These writings provoke questions abou...t how we experience the self, particularly in the face of various challenging external conditions such as existing within a consumer-focussed, hyper-mediated, individualistic environment, as well as considering approaches to and feelings on madness and mental health.
Whilst the exhibition explores 'modes of reflexive escape' and the disappearance of oneself, this reading group discussion will extend this by asking questions about how we see ourselves in the world and how we want to be seen, and considering the difference between self-love and selfishness: if we don't have the capacity for self-love, do we disappear?
Giddens and Laing both propose that the narcissist is not a 'whole' person, that they lack an inherent ontological security and biographical narrative that gives them a whole sense of self. The narcissist is completely distracted by their sense of self, or lack thereof. These fragmented beings only know how to look inwards, and this constant self-assessment and self-involvement alienates the narcissist from others.
How does this reflect in the way that we socialise today? Have the neoliberal values – that promote the rise of the individual (thus sequestering us from one another) – fed this fragmentation and thus alienation? And has the character of the narcissist become more prominent in response to a society that is increasingly focussed on individualism and identity politics?

To coincide with the current and forthcoming programme at Almanac, Jo Harrison will be leading a monthly reading group session + discussion (no preparatory reading necessary)
Sunday 13th May Sunday 10th June Sunday 8th July
... 2-4pm at Almanac, London
For the first session, the central focus will be inspired by the current Liliana Moro exhibition, Né in Cielo, Né in Terra, and consider the idea of suspension: What happens when we allow ourselves to be truly present; when we let ourselves hang out in that awkward moment in-between – after one experience ends but before another begins? And how might it feel to simply experience that space or gap or void, and be open to the conflicts, anxieties and ambiguities of this form of freedom?
Using excerpts from Erich Fromm's The Fear of Freedom (1941) and/or The Art of Loving (1956), and a short extract from Marion Milner's An Experiment in Leisure (1937) as a departure point for discussion to think about freedom in both existential and economic terms, within and across the public and private. Considering how we spend our time, and if it is ever really our own? And if we ever do have moments of true, independent freedom, why do we often fear it? Why is it so intimidating or intense? How does isolation make us feel, and is it the same as alienation? And in light of all this, what then becomes of an individual's relationship to themselves?
