THE LITERATURE AND PSYCHOANALYSIS CONFERENCE
2005

REPARATION


CALL FOR PAPERS

We invite papers addressing the theme of Reparation, in the realms of 
psychoanalysis, literature, culture and politics.  In the psychoanalytic 
theory developed by Melanie Klein, reparation is considered to be the 
central element in our constructive and creative activities. It is now 
thought by many to be a more complex and useful concept than Freud's idea 
of sublimation. It specifically focuses on phantasies of repairing damage 
done to loved ones by our own aggression, imagined or real. Some 
psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic critics have argued that works of 
artistic creation can be considered as acts of reparation. Others, such as 
Leo Bersani in the Culture of Redemption, have argued equally strongly 
against this view.

Abstracts of 200-300 words for papers of 30-45 mins duration to should 
be  received by 1 June,  with a working title and a brief biography.

Please send abstracts to Associate Professor Tom Burvill,
Department of Critical and Cultural Studies,
Macquarie University, Sydney,
by email to :
tburvill@scmp,mq.edu.au
