Bernard Burgoyne is a psychoanalyst practising in London. He is a Member of the World Association of Psychoanalysis, and a founder member of the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research. He was educated at the University of Cambridge, the London School of Economics, and the University of Paris, and is currently Emeritus Professor of Psychoanalysis in the Institute for Health and Social Science Research at Middlesex University. He has published extensively on questions of structure in psychoanalysis, and is particularly concerned with the way in which the predicaments of human interactions are resolvable only by a consideration of the frontiers of desire and the texture of space. Audrey Cantlie was an anthropologist who worked at the Anthropology Department of SOAS for over forty years after completing a PhD in Sociology at the London School of Economics. Having spent her early childhood in Assam and returned there to undertake field research, she published a widely read monograph 'The Assamese: Religion, Caste and Sect in an Indian Village' (1984) and contributed seminal articles on the anthropology of Indian religion. Her subsequent work at Kalighat led to some extraordinary papers, anticipating current discussions on ontology and the status of statements regarding the "real". Later she developed her interest in psychoanalysis and anthropology and taught at SOAS until her death in 2013.
