Counterspace invites contributions that creatively take up the relationship between psyche and society, with special attention to theoretical, practical, or applied psychoanalysis. More specifically, Counterspace is imagined as an avenue for psychoanalytic submissions that may counter hegemonic narratives within in the field through exploration of psychoanalysis as a theory, research methodology, clinical practice, or system for thinking about culture, society, the body, political economy, social movements, institutions and power. We encourage voices often marginalized or suppressed along lines of race, gender, sexuality, gender identity, class, ability, or immigration status, in and outside of academia. We are especially interested in work that works against the split of clinic and the sociopolitical, but instead examines or challenges the intersections between multiple dimensions of identity, interlocking systems of oppression, and novel approaches to research, solidarity and coalition building.
