Welcome to our latest miscellany of an issue, though - sign of these egregious times - one easily could impute a robust authoritarianism theme through at least half the contributions. Kicking things off is Barry Richards with a perceptive and provocative piece examining the hybrid character of modern expressions of authoritarianism. Ilene Philipson follows with her fretful thoughts on the contemporary Western scene. Then Judith Hughes adds her critical contemplations on the climate crisis - and on a certain personal and institutional blindness to it. Jerry Piven provides an intriguing and lively look at the underappreciated insights of existential analyst Walter A. Davis. Then Neil Hopkins, David Mathew and Davo Ruthven-Stuart widen the frame to an acute application of psychoanalytic thinking to the darker corners of the “uncanny workplace.” Finally, Nancy Gerber offers an empathetic and engaging review of Gillian Rose's Love's Work.
We are very grateful to and very pleased as we look back on our November 30 annual Psychoanalysis and the Public Sphere conference, this time on the theme of ‘Imperial Legacies: Psychoanalysis and Colonialist Phantasies.‘ Next year we plan to center the conference on the subject of youth and its/their travails over various eras, issues and regions. Do get in touch if you believe you have something of interest to contribute or just to inquire.
