This is a Reading Group for all those interested in Desire, not only its sexual or erotic form. We will meet three times a term to discuss two short pieces—whether they be prose, poetry, paintings, film, or something else, so long as it is short! Each week will be structured around a particular concept e.g. Mourning, or the Gaze, or Orientalism, or Cruising. The pieces must be short because they will be (hopefully) read in advance.

If you would like copies of the material and would like to participate in the group, please email Damian Maher (damian.maher@sjc.ox.ac.uk) so he can send it to you in advance. All are welcome.
