CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
PSYCHOANALYSIS TO COME: COMMUNITY & CULTURE
A DAS UNBEHAGEN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
COPENHAGEN, JULY 24-26, 2020

We are welcoming paper and panel submissions for an international 
conference on the future of psychoanalytic community | psychoanalysis 
and culture to be held in Copenhagen, July 24-26, 2020.

We intend this three-day conference to be a space for those of us 
committed to psychoanalysis to think through the future of 
psychoanalytic community, the possibility of an international 
psychoanalytic network “without borders” and the forms this may take in 
relation to other established organizations, culture, film, digital 
media, technology, publishing, academia, philosophy and the arts.

As we know, psychoanalysis has not survived so much by way of psychology 
departments and the field of “mental health” at large, but more so 
through the humanities, philosophy, literature and film theory, creating 
a discourse and culture of its own.

Das Unbehagen (www.dasunbehagen.org 
<https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dasunbehagen.org%2F>) 
first began by putting to question the method and mode of psychoanalytic 
transmission, both within and without institutional boundaries. We have 
undergone many iterations: from a small group of practitioners planning 
events and classes in New York, to an international collective of 
clinicians and scholars connected remotely, to a group that both 
implicitly and explicitly puts to question its own possibility and 
future. From the start, dU has been committed to the idea that 
engagement with psychoanalysis can and should take place outside of an 
institutional setting and that a psychoanalytic collective founded on 
and motored by the desire of its participants is both possible and 
necessary—without prescribing exactly how such a collective might stay 
alive or whether its current instantiation will.

We hope to gather participants from a variety of disciplines and 
theoretical orientations to participate in both traditional panels and 
more experiential events, all of which will ask us to work with the 
question of the psychoanalytic endeavor, its future, and its reach. Thus 
we are interested in papers, panels, and other submissions that 
theorize, historicize, hystericize, problematize, philosophize, 
construct, deconstruct, and compound the realities, possibilities, 
intersections and missed encounters of and between psychoanalysis and 
community, and located anywhere on the range from practical to imagined.

Some possibilities for topics are below, though we welcome any 
submissions—both critical and creative—that conjugate psychoanalysis, 
community, culture, and the future. We encourage as well collaborative 
work on submissions and welcome not only paper proposals, but also 
proposals for panels, roundtables, performances, and workshops.
