is planned for the IBG 2001. See details below. Please
email Chris if you think you might be interested in
submitting an abstract.
Psychoanalytic geographies
Hester Parr (Dundee University)
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.
Abstracts should be submitted to Chris Philo, Department of
Geography, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G12 8QQ or
email: [log in to unmask] by May 31st, 2000.
