- **Event Description**: Join us for a wide-ranging conversation in which we turn from the marriage plot to the marriage question.About this EventWe are all familiar with the marriage plot—it starts with a meet-cute and ends happily ever after, dramatic ironies charmingly resolved. It is also, by now, a truth universally acknowledged that the marriage plot is an ideological instrument, more or less blunt, that historically has been quite effective in the bourgeois consolidation of moral values and material power. But what the marriage plot leaves hanging, perhaps on purpose, is what exactly happens within marriage itself — after the obstacles to union have been removed, past the first blush, and into the project of constructing a life for two.Join us for a wide-ranging conversation in which we turn from the marriage plot to the marriage question, with Clare Carlisle’s eponymous study of George Eliot as our jumping-off point (no prior reading of Carlisle's book is necessary in order to attend!). What kind of thing is a marriage? Why would one wish to enter into it? What does it enable one to do, and what does it preclude? And how does literature provide us access into that strange and conflictual interior of other people’s relationships? What’s to be gleaned there, about desire, dependence, trust, violence, sanctity, and the wider world? You can purchase the book from us here.Danielle Drori, PhD, is Associate Faculty of literary studies at the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research and a psychoanalyst-in-training at the Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis. She has published essays about marriage and divorce, and her favorite fictional character is Gwendolen Harleth-Grandcourt from George Eliot's Daniel Deronda.Heather C. Ohaneson holds a PhD in the philosophy of religion from Columbia University. Recently married, she lives with her husband in Philadelphia.Lauren K. Wolfe, PhD, is a Brooklyn-based translator and educator, specializing in German language literature and cultural history and the practice and theory of translation.
