In her rich and complex essay, “The Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary Series: Languages of One Psychoanalysis and Many: “Migration and Mutation of Concepts” Across the Globe—Part 1,” Eva D. Papiasvili offers an in-depth history and description of the Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary of Psychoanalysis (IRED). Papiasvili emphasizes the need for a pluralistic, multifaceted, multicultural approach to psychoanalytic inquiry. Strict adherence to singular conceptual frameworks, she argues, can obscure the richness of the discipline of psychoanalysis. According to Papiasvili, IRED, first conceived by Stephano Bolognini, has emerged as a collective effort bringing together analysts worldwide to contribute to an ongoing, multilayered dialogue. This international, interregional collaboration captures the global migration of psychoanalytic thought as analytic concepts traverse cultural boundaries and evolve through interaction with different psychoanalytic geographies. Papiasvili urges the reader to explore the many published IRED entries in order to delve into this lively psychoanalytic discourse and experience firsthand the dynamic evolution of psychoanalytic thought across language and cultural boundaries.
