Putting the Trace and Forensics on the Couch

Rachel Cyr:

What if we put forensics on the couch?  What unconscious fantasies would we encounter?  These are the two questions that I mainly wish to bring to the working group, with a special emphasis on the hold that the imaginary register (Lacan) has on forensic subjectivity.  Engaging the Lacanian notion of the imaginary might serve as an alternative point of departure for thinking of the forensic scientific investigations of the Srebrenica genocide.
