Dear Colleagues,
The Organizing Committee has the honor of inviting you to participate in the International Psychoanalytic Forum “Multilingualism of the Unconscious — An International Dialogue”, organized in observance of the International Day of Languages.
Our event is dedicated to exploring multilingualism not merely as a linguistic phenomenon, but as a fundamental framework of clinical and cultural space, where every additional language dimension complicates and enriches the field of psychoanalytic experience.We propose an encounter with all the returning diversity of languages, where the impossible alignment of meanings allows Speech, slips of the tongue, the living word, and the materiality of the voice to bind, complicate, and sustain the dynamics of the subject’s existence. Psychoanalysis is a polyphonic movement historically shaped by the contributions of various cultures and linguistic traditions. It has never been a realm of absolute linguistic transparency or idyllic understanding. Acknowledging the polyphony of the unconscious and the diversity of languages means a willingness to face the gap, the irreducible uniqueness and “out-of-placeness” of the subject, the difficulties of translation, and an encounter with the untranslatable remainder.
Through a series of presentations, we invite our colleagues from France, Greece, Portugal, and Ukraine to outline the historical trajectories, conceptual shifts, and the contemporary state of the psychoanalytic movement within their linguistic communities.
Format and Core Focus:
- Language Community Presentations: The origin, history, development, key conceptual shifts, and current climate of psychoanalysis in our native languages.
We would be honored by your presence and look forward to listening to psychoanalysis as it speaks in your language!
Warm regards,
The Conference Organizing Committee
