FREUD AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE 21ST CENTURY

AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
13-16 December, 1999
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL

As we approach the twenty-first century, the deep impact of Freud's psychoanalytic discoveries becomes even more evident and prominent.
Following Freud's lead, psychoanalysis, beyond being a therapeutic modality, has engaged in vital partnership and vigorous discourse at the cultural, academic and creative frontiers of this century. These intellectual and scientific contributions, as well as controversies and divergent views fostered by psychoanalytic thinking and experience are at the focus of this International Conference. The aim is to take a broad, yet searching look at the interfaces of psychoanalysis with a variety of prominently related subject areas. The central question to be examined will be the extent to which psychoanalysis, having completed a century of influential existence and at the threshold of its second century, has fulfilled philosophy's age-old quest and Freud's visionary claim, to provide the cornerstone for "The Science of Man."

The conference will pursue and explore these questions along several dimensions.

AMONG THE TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED:

FREUD, PSYCHOANALYSIS AND MIND: Psychoanalysis and Theories of Mind; The Philosophical Standing of Psychoanalysis - Psychoanalytic Contributions to the Study of Irrationality; Psychoanalysis and Memory Studies; Memory, Trauma & Psychoanalysis; Understanding the Subject; Psychoanalysis and Neuroscience.

PSYCHOANALYSIS & CULTURAL STUDIES: Jewish Identity and Culture; Psychoanalysis and Cultural Relativism; Freud and Gender Identity; Psychoanalysis and Religious Extremism; Freud as a Cultural Hero.

PSYCHOANALYSIS, LITERATURE AND ART: Psychoanalysis and Literature; Psychoanalysis and the Plastic Arts; Psychoanalysis and the Movies.

CALL FOR PAPERS
In addition to invited speakers and panels, the conference will provide space for individually submitted papers on topics relevant to the main themes. In order to be evaluated for presentation, a two-page abstract must be submitted and received no later than March 31, 1999.
