Much like experiences of music, our significant human encounters are transient occurrences that have a lasting effect. A tune just played is no longer audible, and yet it makes itself felt; likewise, our fleeting encounter with another person may leave us with an ambiguous feeling of presence. There is an interesting tension between transience and permanence: what we find personally significant we would unconsciously want to secure permanently, and accepting the transience of the encounter hence tends to motivate us to devalue the latter. Yet, if we are not to take others for granted and yet consider them valuable to us, we must make use of illusions. The workshop focuses on the role of transience and illusion in significant interpersonal encounters by building comparisons between psychoanalytic encounters and experiences of music.
