Psychoanalysis and Politics - Shared Traumas, Silent Loss, Public and Private Mourning

AUTUMN SYMPOSIUM IN LONDON 19th and 20th of OCTOBER 2012
Venue: British Psychoanalytical Society, 112a Shirland Road

PSYCHOANALYSIS AND POLITICS is a conference series that aims to
address how crucial contemporary political issues may be fruitfully
explored through psychoanalytic theory, and vice versa: how political
issues may reflect back on psychoanalytic thinking. The series is
interdisciplinary; we invite theoretical contributions and historical,
literary or clinical case studies from philosophers, sociologists,
psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, group analysts, literary theorists,
historians and others. Perspectives from different psychoanalytic
schools are 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.

The conference fee, which includes lunch and dinner Friday and
Saturday, is Â£ 155. To sign up, please e-mail:
