PSYCHOANALYSIS ACROSS THE DISCIPLINES
How does psychoanalytic work inform the ways we think about, use, and conflict with other bodies of knowledge and kinds of practice? We are looking for papers exploring, performing, proposing, or critiquing actual or possible practical, historical, theoretical, methodological, cultural, or institutional encounters and intersections of psychoanalysis with other disciplines, theories, and practices, within and without the academy.
Possible topics include (but are not limited to) the following: Whither Psychoanalysis: New Programs and Pedagogies / Disciplinary Disruptions, Amplifications, Revisions / Psychoanalysis and the University / Clinical vs. Academic Aspects of Psychoanalysis / Clinical Practice and Social Issues / Psychoanalysis and the Sciences / Psychoanalysis and/in the Public Sphere / Media Terminable and Interminable / Psychoanalysis as Critique of Critique / Psychoanalysis and Politics / Social Implications of Psychoanalytic Criticism APCS is dedicated to promoting the social benefits of psychoanalysis. We encourage participants to address this dimension in their presentations. Proposals for individual papers (15-20 minutes) and panels (3 or 4 papers) are invited. Send one-page abstracts (no papers) to Marcia Ian by June 15, 2001. Email submissions are preferred. Include email addresses, postal addresses, professional/institutional affiliation, if any, and phone numbers for all individuals involved in the proposal.
