Shared Traumas, Silent Loss, Public and Private Mourning



PSYCHOANALYSIS AND POLITICS
ERUPTIONS, DISRUPTIONS AND RETURNS OF THE REPRESSED

CALL FOR PAPERS â?" WINTER SYMPOSIUM IN HELSINKI 15th to 17th of MARCH 2013
Venue: House of the Estates (Säatytalo) Snellmansgatan 9-11, 00170
Recent eruptions of conflict, revolt and discontent have been radical and unexpected. The Arab Spring, the UK Riots or the Occupy movement are some examples of these. Furthermore, the recent violent right-wing attacks in Europe exemplify underlying conflict in the contemporary political climate. This symposium raises the questions of how to evaluate and to think about these phenomena. A further question is that of to what extent these events challenge the limits of psychoanalytic conceptualisation.

This is an interdisciplinary conference â?" we invite theoretical contributions and historical, literary or clinical case studies on these and related themes from philosophers, sociologists, psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, group analysts, literary theorists, historians and others. Perspectives from different psychoanalytic schools will be most welcome. We emphasise room for discussion among the presenters and participants, thus the symposium series creates a space where representatives of different perspectives come together and engage with one another's contributions, participating in a community of thought. Therefore, we would like you to attend for the whole symposium, and we will give priority to those who plan to do so. Due to the nature of the forum audio recording is not permitted.
Presentations are expected to take half an hour; another 20 minutes is set aside for discussion. Please send an abstract of 200 to 300 words to [email protected] by December 1st 2012.

We will respond by, and present a preliminary programme on, December 15th 2012. If you would like to sign up to participate without presenting a paper, please contact us after this date.

This is a relatively small symposium where active participation is encouraged. Researchers, clinicians, students and others who are interested are invited to attend and present their work in a friendly and enjoyable social atmosphere. A participation fee, which includes two shared dinners, of â?¬ 155 â?" 1155 NOK â?" 1338 SEK â?" 1156 DKK â?" £ 125 â?" $ 201 â?" 108 LVL â?" 535 LTL, is to be paid before the symposium. Fees must be covered by a bank transfer/international bank transfer. Your place is only confirmed once we have received your completed registration form as well as your payment. Additional information will be given after your abstract has been accepted or after the conference programme has been finalized.
The organizers would like to thank the Finnish Psychoanalytical Society for their support.
