UPDATE: Oedipus Now (7/1/05; APSC, 11/4/05-11/6/05)

Here is an updated CFP with more complete information about the conference:
 
APSC Conference at Rutgers University; 11/4/05-11/6/05
Psychoanalysis and Community
 
Panel: Oedipus Now

For this panel, I seek papers examining the genesis, development, and the cultural, political, and artistic implications of Freud's theory of the Oedipus complex. The scope of the panel is, perforce, quite broad; papers on clinical practices, community issues, and critical theory are welcome. Some possibilities (particularly the ones that address, in different ways, the general theme of community) include but are not limited to: new approaches to/readings of the foundational Freudian texts on Oedipus; race, gender, sexuality, and national identity through the Oedipal lens; psychoanalytic readings of literature, film, and the visual arts; issues in (auto)biography.

Please submit electronic proposals of about 250 words and a brief bio (body of e-mail only please) by 5pm EST on 7/1/05 (must meet the general conference deadline) to
