> This international conference commemorates the 100th anniversary of the
> publication of the Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams -- an epochal
> book that has left an indelible mark on the last century. This conference
> looks both to the past and the future in its assessment of the Freudian
> legacy and seeks to address the following questions: what is the status of
> psychoanalytic theory today? At what new understandings of its history
have
> we arrived? What is the future of psychoanalysis and its interventions in
> the clinic and in a wider cultural field?
>
> The Interpretation of Dreams is not only a basic text of psychoanalysis,
it
> opens up the limit of interpretation itself and has therefore provided
> critical paradigms and productive strategies for different disciplines.
> Freud's Dream Book confronts the hermeneutic project with a persist
> challenge that continues to demand reflection. We are inviting papers,
> theoretical, clinical and historiographical that address The
> Interpretation of Dreams across disciplinary and national boundaries.
