QMUL Psychic Driving interview with David Saunders

One evening in November 2016, as part of the Being Human Festival, David Saunders invited seventy-three individuals into a small room on the third floor of St Bartholomew’s Hospital. Once there, they disclosed their hopes, fears, and anxieties to a tape recorder. They were taking part in a restaging of a “revolutionary” therapeutic exercise called Psychic Driving. It was part of the Museum of the Normal, an event organised by QMUL Centre for the History of the Emotions. In this podcast, produced by Natalie Steed, you can hear an interview with David Saunders about Psychic Driving and the increasingly alarming experiments of Dr Donald Ewan Cameron which attracted both interest and finance from the CIA. For the 2017 Being Human Festival, The Centre for the History of Emotions is staging an event about Emotional Objects. On 20th November. We’ll be exploring the stuff of feeling. Talismans. Lost necklaces, found photos, fetishes and objects hidden under the floorboards. With talks, stalls and performances come and map your emotional London and bring your emotional talismans for our display. ‘Emotional Objects: From Lost Amulets to Found Photos’ 20 November, 2-5pm and 6-9pm Royal College of Nursing, 20 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0RN Free to attend but advance booking essential at beinghumanfestival.org/event/emotional-objects-from-lost-amulets-to-found-photos/
