We lead off this issue with two immediately available contributions from our September London conference “Psychoanalysis, Values, and Webs of Power,” jointly sponsored with the Freud Museum and honoring our departed and much-missed Free Associations coeditor Robert M. Young, who also happened to be founder of this journal. We like to imagine Bob would have been very pleased by the proceedings, which lived up to the Psychoanalysis and the Public Sphere conferences he had masterminded in the 1980s and 1990s. We thank Lynne Segal and Peter Barham profusely for turning over their conference addresses to us so quickly, and look forward to publishing more of that notable weekend's sallies in the upcoming year.
We also are grateful to the Freud Museum's Ivan Ward to all our other estimable conference speakers and panelists: Lisa Appignanesi, David Bell, Michael Chanan, Lynn Chancer, Fakhry Davids, Karl Figlio, Stephen Frosh, Eva Hoffman, Bob Hinshelwood, Lauren Langman, Carolyn Laubender, Vicky LeBeau, Ian Parker, our esteemed new film editor Agnieszka Piotrowska, Barry Richards, Joanna Ryan, Sabby Sagall, Valerie Sinason, Roger Smith, Sue Vice, Estela Welldon and Eli Zaretsky.
We coeditors, along with the Freud Museum, plan to use this encouraging occasion to relaunch, quite explicitly this time, the Psychoanalysis and Public Sphere conferences in 2020 with an event themed: “Fascist States of Mind.” We shall provide more details anon. Anyone who is interested should contact either of us.
Our next issue in the Spring, guest edited by Barry Richards and Candida Yates, is on “Psychoanalytic Reflections on Fifty Years of Cultural and Political Revolution.” We hope you can't wait.
