*CFP:** Psychoanalysis in Our Time **2018 –** Psychoanalysis**, 
Nationalism and Ideology, Sopot/Gdansk, Poland, 5**^th **-7**^th 
** October 2018*
Now in its fifth year – and following the great success of sessions 
across Europe – the Psychoanalysis in Our Time research network is 
delighted to announce the call for papers for our next event, which will 
take place in association with the University of Gdansk, Poland from 
5^th  to 7^th  October 2018. The topic for this symposium will be 
“Psychoanalysis, Nationalism and Ideology”.
This research initiative funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers and 
supported by the British Association of Film, Television and Screen 
Studies aims to initiate and develop trans-disciplinary conversations. 
We believe in deep and ardent discussions in sessions and over meals and 
wine – which will be flowing freely. We have published a first edited 
collection stemming from meetings in Copenhagen and Tallinn, entitled 
/Psychoanalysis //and The Unrepresentable: from Culture to the 
Clinic/ (Routledge, 2016), and are currently working on a second 
collection, /Psychoanalysis //and Femininity/, due for publication with 
Routledge next year.
