Lament, Reading and Therapy
Joint KCL/Oxford Workshop

This workshop considers the composition, performance, and repetition of texts of lament, loss
and healing. We understand the writing and reading of these lament traditions to be the work
of therapy. Presentations will explore how interpretive communities – collective and
individual – internalise, interpret and translate experiences of trauma and fracture into new
readings, rewritten scripture, and radical prayer.
