Convenors: Liz Bondi, Paul Kingsbury, Steve Pile
This session offers a forum for newly emerging ideas, concepts and
methods associated with the subfield of psychoanalytic geographies and
the edited collection, Psychoanalytic Geographies (Ashgate, 2014). This
volume illustrates the vitality and vibrancy of engagements by
geographical thinkers with the theories and practices of psychoanalysis,
as well as its interfaces with psycho-therapeutic practices, social
theories and neuroscience. The co-productions generating psychoanalytic
geographies are fostering new partnerships with a diverse range of
disciplines, professions and practitioners. This session aims to
reflect and build on these partnerships and evolving co-productions by
bringing together geographers and others interested in the practical
entanglements of psychoanalysis and geography.
We will consider any contribution that lies at the intersection of
psychoanalytic and geographical thought, including but not limited to:
Spatial thinking and practice in psychoanalytic traditions
Privacy, publicity and psychoanalysis
Geographies of dreaming, reverie, and phantasy
Mapping the unconscious, transference, drives, and repetition
Psychoanalysis, politics and place
Psychoanalysis and ecology
Psychoanalysis, art and aesthetics
The paper session will be followed by a roundtable discussion session
and linked to the launch of two books: Psychoanalytic Geographies
(edited by Paul Kingsbury and Steve Pile, Ashgate, 2014) and Making
Spaces: Putting Psychoanalytic Thinking to Work (edited by Kate Cullen,
Liz Bondi, Judith Fewell, Eileen Francis and Molly Ludlam, Karnac, 2014).
