Freud:

New Evolutions and Insights

Our upcoming conference will showcase six internationally acclaimed authors, each presenting original contributions on the legacy of Freud’s work:

Mark Solms, on the scientific language employed in Strachey’s original translations

Heinz Weiss, on Freud as translator, and translation

Marie Lenormand, on unravelling Freud’s “Wo Es war, soll Ich werden“

Jonathan Lear, on the biblical figure of Balaam in Freud’s work

Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela, on Nachträglichkeit and the legacy of Apartheid

and Leticia Glocer Fiorini on sexual difference

These papers represent a selection from the 17 essays that feature in our Special Issue on the Revised Standard Edition, and which engages with the legacy of Freud’s work, as well as the future of psychoanalytic thought more generally.

We hope to see you there!
