"Very interesting," said the nazi on the tricycle on Laugh_In. Freud conference at the Univ of MN Call for Papers Dreams of Interpretation/The Interpretation of Dreams October 5-7, 2000 Sponsored by the Humanities Institute at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Submission Deadline: April 30, 2000 Featuring: Raymond Bellour Patricia Gherovici Pable Kovalovsky Laura Marcus Juliet Flower-McCannell Grard Pommier Jean-Michel Rabat Laurence Rickels Avital Ronell Klaus Theweleit This international conference commemorates the 100th anniversary of the publication of the Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams -- an epochal book that has left an indelible mark on the last century. This conference looks both to the past and the future in its assessment of the Freudian legacy and seeks to address the following questions: what is the status of psychoanalytic theory today? At what new understandings of its history have we arrived? What is the future of psychoanalysis and its interventions in the clinic and in a wider cultural field? The Interpretation of Dreams is not only a basic text of psychoanalysis, it opens up the limit of interpretation itself and has therefore provided critical paradigms and productive strategies for different disciplines. Freud's Dream Book confronts the hermeneutic project with a persist challenge that continues to demand reflection. We are inviting papers, theoretical, clinical and historiographical that address The Interpretation of Dreams across disciplinary and national boundaries. Provisional panel topics include: Psychoanalysis and Film Theory: Beyond Spectatorship Ruptures and Schisms French Freuds Psychoanalysis and Marxism Borders and Borderlines States of Resistance Queer Theory Anti-psychoanalysis The Resurgence of Religion New Perversions, New Technologies: Strategies of interpretation Post-colonial subjects Death-drive at 2000 Historiography and Interpretation Aberrations of Transmission: Psychoanalysis and Pedagogy Psychoanalysis and Psychopharmacology Politics of Interpretation History of Science and the Dream Book All papers and proposals for panels can be sent by snail mail to Dreams of Interpretation/Interpretation of Dreams Catherine Liu, John Mowitt, Thomas Pepper Humanities Institute University of Minnesota Minneapolis, MN 55455 Postmark Deadline: April 30, 2000 and by email to Jakki Spicer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Scholars without institutional support for travel and lodging may apply for supplementary travel grants once panel proposal or paper has been accepted. _____________________________________________________________ Who will win the Oscars?
