January 22, 2021 — The Vertical Split and Horizontal Split
[52 pages]
This class will explore and explain the often confusing concepts of the vertical and horizontal splits. Goldberg is clear and cogent in his writing, so the reading should be easy. We will cover the phenomenology of the vertical split, the function of disavowal and dissociation, and varieties of splits.
Midterm evaluations should be conducted at the end of this class. Discussion of how remote classes are handled and suggestions on how it can be improved will of course be very welcome. An outline to start the discussion is provided in a link below.
