This reflection problematizes the notion and practice of the psychoanalytic conference, a genre that, while useful, also embodies deadness. By first reminding what is at stake in conferences as usually staged—readings of texts—the reflection is focused on what is at stake in the prospect of psychoanalytic conferences that function psychoanalytically. Using an event he helped imagine and execute as both a matrix of thinking and a source of examples, the author examines the challenges and potentials of new forms of participation, co-existence, and exchange in the psychoanalytic field.
