Arts Faculty News
Fordham University, New York
Dr. Eve Watson our Head of Psychotherapy Programmes and a Senior Lecturer in the Arts and Psychotherapy Faculty gave a talk at Fordham University, New York which was held on Friday, April 26th and it was organised by the U.S.-based A.P.W. (Affiliated Psychoanalytic Workgroups). There were attendees from all over the U.S.A. (New York, Boston, San Francisco, Pittsburgh) as well as from the U.K., Australia, France, Ireland, Canada and Iceland. Dr. Eve Watson’s talk examined what it is about Beckett that makes us laugh out loud at his work. Taking the play Happy Days, the talk shows how the ability to self-deprecate, to laugh at oneself, has the effect of sustaining people in the face of misery and despair. Beckett’s treatment of the character Winnie in Happy Days is a portrayal of loneliness, aging and unrequited love that we can identify without becoming depressed by it because it is Beckett’s genius to use humour as an envelope for the unbearable.
