Library Talk | Contemporary Approaches to Autism | Dr. Peter Schneider and Dr. Leon Brenner

IPU-lecturer Dr. Leon Brenner has recently published his new book on autism: The Autistic Subject: On the Threshold of Language. In his book, Dr. Brenner describes autism as a mode-of-being that is fundamentally linked to one’s identity and basic practices of existence, offering an alternative to treating autism as a mental or physical disorder. Abiding with the Lacanian approach, he examines autism with detailed attention to the use of language and proposes the new framework of the "autistic linguistic spectrum". In this discussion, Dr. Leon Brenner and PD Dr. Peter Schneider examine the subject of autism, exploring the many facets of the psychoanalytic understanding of autistic subjectivity today. How is autism to be understood as a linguistic phenomenon? Why should autism be described as a mode-of-being? And in what way does this affect the notion of a cure for autism? Debating major sections from his book, Dr. Brenner and PD Dr. Schneider try to address these questions. The talk took place on 3 December 2021. www.ipu-berlin.de
