THE 2011 ANNUAL CONFERENCE:
PATHOS, POLITICS, AND PASSION

This year's Annual Conference will address issues regarding how psychoanalytic theory and practice guide and are guided by our passions. Plenaries, panels, and papers will reflect on ways in which psychoanalytic concepts are implicated in these issues, and to offer proposals from those perspectives. Attendees will be exposed to work that investigates what psychoanalysis - both in its theoretical and applied forms - can offer for a better understanding of ways in which affect drives socio-cultural forces and vice versa.

Plenary Sessions:

• Knowing and Not Knowing: Subjective Experience and the Psychosocial
• Political Pathos in Westen, Lakoff, and Psychoanalysis: Strategies of Intervention
  
  

A sampling of panels:

• Psychoanalysis, Aesthetics and Art
• The Role of Transference and Countertransference in Understanding Socio-Political Conflicts: A Reflection on Three Incidents in Mexico's Current Drug War
• Desire and Demand in the School Lives of Children
• Psychoanalysis and Culture
• Psychoanalysis: Lacanian Perspectives
• Psychoanalysis and Politics
