Speaker Panos Liakos, an MPhil researcher in Film Studies at the University of West London, offers a psychoanalytic and spatial reading of Kane Parsons' 'Backrooms'. Drawing on Gaston Bachelard's concept of 'topoanalysis' and Freud's uncanny, the paper argues that the film imagines the unconscious as a digital architecture in which memory, shame, and domestic fantasy are endlessly displaced rather than sheltered. Registrants join via Zoom and can watch back a recording for three months.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/freudian-research-seminar-the-architecture-of-the-unconsciou-36174/", "official_url": "https://www.freud.org.uk/event/freudian-research-seminar-the-architecture-of-the-unconscious-technology-domestic-fantasy-and-the-uncanny-in-kane-parsons-backrooms/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/0d4146417dc86f5b050a5a3bbf60d0383ec016dbff6f15fd5e2fae00decc33cb-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-10-29T17:00:00Z", "end": "2026-10-29T18:30:00Z", "place": "Freud Museum London", "address": "Maresfield Gardens 20, NW3 5SX London", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "The Outdoor Analyst: Sigmund Freud Beyond the Couch", "start": "2026-10-31T13:30:00Z", "end": "2026-10-31T13:30:00Z", "place": "Freud Museum London", "address": "Maresfield Gardens 20, NW3 5SX London", "price": "Free with admission ticket", "price_from": "0.00", "price_to": "0.00", "tickets_url": "https://www.freud.org.uk/join-support/membership/", "category": "tours", "tags": ["society/psychoanalysis"], "description": "A short 20-minute tour at the Freud Museum London that reveals a more personal and human side of Sigmund Freud.

Ghost Mind improvise with instruments, toys, objects and sounds processed through their machine, conjuring a sound that is sometimes orchestral, sometimes post-hauntological, as if improvising with our memories and dreams.
