A reminder that you can still send abstracts for an exciting IBG
session which is on offer courtesy of Social and Cultural
Geography Research Group:
Psychoanalytic geographies
convenors:Hester Parr (Dundee University) and Chris Philo (Glasgow
University)
In recent years human geography has seen something of a
'psychoanalytic turn'. It is perhaps now appropriate to reflect upon
what has been achieved by this development, and in so doing to explore
further the differing traditions and practices within psychoanalysis
which have been, and which could be, drawn upon by geographers. This
session aims to provide a setting for such a reflection. Papers which
deal with psychoanalytic thought and writing in both conceptual and
more substantive, empirical terms are welcomed. Any focus within these
parameters would be considered, but examining the implications of
thinking 'psychoanalytically' in human geography could include
attention to: psycho-social-spatial relations; identity, self and
other; desire, gender and sexuality; the mind-body continuum; spatial
scale, agency and structure; methods, reflexivity and autobiography.
We encourage both established academics and postgraduates to submit an
abstract.
Submit abstracts to [log in to unmask] by 31st of May, 2000.
