The Emory University Symposium for Psychoanalysis and Politics (SPAP) invites abstract submissions for 15-20 minute oral presentations exploring critical approaches to psychoanalysis and what is broadly construed as politics. Conditions permitting, the conference will be held in-person at Emory University on October 20-22, 2022.
In addition to presentations delivered by Emory faculty and admitted symposium participants, the conference will feature keynote talks delivered in-person by Adrian Johnston and Joan Copjec. Patricia Gherovici and Jamieson Webster will also deliver talks virtually.
To apply to present at the symposium, we ask for abstract submissions of maximum 500 words for single paper presentations and maximum 1000 words for panel presentations. If you are planning on applying as part of a panel, please make sure your panel’s abstract contains, in addition to a brief discussion of each presenter’s paper, an overall description of the thematic concerns of the panel. Please note that panel submissions should consist of three presenters. The first page of the submission should include your name(s), submission title(s), institutional affiliation(s), and an email address. The second page should include the abstract. Please email your submission to EmorySPAP@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is August 1.
This event is sponsored by the Hightower Fund, the Emory University Philosophy Department, Comparative Literature Department, French and Italian Department, and Psychoanalytic Studies Program.
