Series: Decentralized Learning Experiences
A learning experience can be almost anything, and any licensed clinician can propose one. It can be about a paper, a book or a movie. It can tackle an idea, such as field theory or dream analysis or focus on the work of a theorist. The format can be didactic or it can be a leaderless seminar or a one-hour conversation. It can be a one-off event or a series of weekly, biweekly, or monthly meetings. Currently, this program is in its pilot stage, so certain limits may apply.
Psychoanalytic Inquiry’s Learning Experiences are free.
Not all events are recorded. When we record an event it can be found in the archive.

Revising the standard, revisioning Freud: (De)institutionalizing the Revised Standard Edition
Date: March 14th | 9:00 – 11:00 AM PT
Description
A 2 hour panel arising from the coming up issue of psychoanalytic inquiry edited by Shir Shanun, Psy.d. about engaging with Mark Solms revised standard edition of the complete psychological works of Sigmund Freud (RSE).
Panel Abstract
There was the Standard Edition. Now, there is the Revised Standard Edition (RSE). We will address the status of the RSE in the institution of psychoanalysis as a system of knowledge which shapes theoretical, clinical, and social praxis. If the “Standard” remains, is the established norm still operative? Does the RSE support a totalizing institution binding us all within its confines?
In our view, the RSE promotes a return to a newly contextualized Freud. Rather than perpetuating an ossified institution which petrifies psychoanalytic doctrine, the RSE cultivates fertile, open ground. The “Standard” is not a norm but a guiding principle. We will discuss issues and opportunities afforded by (re)translating Freud’s key German terms. We (re)explore some of Freud’s well-known texts and unpublished works which illuminate his sociopolitical inclinations. We return to and deterritorialize Freud with psychoanalysis post-Freud, including neuropsychoanalysis, Bion, Fanon, and Lacan. These assemblages allow us to grasp and produce something new in Freud, a moebius strip-like oeuvre where the intra-(neuro)psychic opens onto the social. In a way, the RSE becomes psychoanalysis’ memoirs of the future. This dissolves an ossified psychoanalysis, mediating respect for and questioning of our institutional traditions and charting a psychoanalytic landscape open to all.
