The Warwick Law Fair is one of our most prestigious events in the recruitment calendar targeting both law and non-law students. The School of Law is one of the top in the country and law firms have commented on the quality of Warwick graduates. Last year we were delighted to welcome over 70 law firms and course providers ranging from international, magic circle, national and local firms as well as barristers' chambers.

Everyone is welcome! We follow a pre-read format, so please message sameer.bajaj@warwick.ac.uk if you would like to be added to the mailing list.

Surrealism, a major movement of late modernism in the 1920s and 1930s, showed an enigmatic parallel with and interest in psychoanalysis as the poets, painters and novelists tried to open a new depth of personal self-understanding. They were “loving Freud madly”: they studied psychoanalysis, Breton and Dalí visited Freud, and they integrated the basic ideas of psychoanalysis into their literary and theoretical discourses. Breton put the dream and automatism at the centre and developed a kind of hysteria-criticism, while Dalí introduced a more radical paranoia-criticism in his theories and creative work. Dalí’s work showed important parallel ideas with the psychoanalysis of the early Jacques Lacan. Dalí in 1938 visited Freud in London and took with him his freshly finished picture “The Metamorphosis of Narcissus”. This major painting is an excellent summary of his paranoia-criticism. The structuring of the picture, and the act of imagining the world through a paranoid-critical method, creates a surrealistic-hallucinatory psycho-analysis, and speaks of Dali’s narcissistic lacks and excesses as well as our own.
