Konferenz

Das Sym­po­sion zur Geschichte der Psy­cho­analyse find­et jährlich Ende Februar/Anfang März statt. Gegrün­det 1987 in Kas­sel von Hel­mut Junker und Ger­hard Wit­ten­berg­er, wurde es ab 1996 von Ger­hard Ficht­ner und Albrecht Hirschmüller am Insti­tut für Geschichte der Medi­zin in Tübin­gen fort­ge­führt. Als die bei­den Tübinger Organ­isatoren 2010 ihre Funk­tion auf­gaben, wurde das Sym­po­sion nach Berlin ver­legt, wo es bis 2020 von Michael Schröter (Berlin), Thomas Aich­horn (Wien) und (seit 2017) Rain­er Her­rn (Berlin) unter Träger­schaft des INSTITUTS FÜR GESCHICHTE DER MEDIZIN an der Char­ité (Direk­tor: Volk­er Hess) organ­isiert wurde. Sekre­tariell wird es seit 2011 von Sabine Selle (Char­ité) betreut. Eben­falls seit 2011 zeich­net LUZIFER-AMOR formell als Mit-Ver­anstal­ter. Der Tagung­sort war bis 2019 auf dem Char­ité-Gelände in Berlin-Mitte. 2020 wurde das Sym­po­sion erst­mals in den Räu­men der  Inter­na­tion­al Psy­cho­an­a­lyt­ic Uni­ver­si­ty (IPU) abge­hal­ten. Ab 2021 liegt die Organ­i­sa­tion in den Hän­den von Ludger M. Her­manns, Rain­er Her­rn und Andrea Hup­p­ke (alle Berlin). Das erste Tre­f­fen der neuen Ägide musste Coro­na-bed­ingt im online-Modus stat­tfind­en. – Für die Teil­nahme wer­den Zer­ti­fizierungspunk­te vergeben.

In sein­er langjähri­gen Geschichte hat sich das Sym­po­sion zum zen­tralen Forum der psy­cho­analy­se­his­torischen Szene im deutschsprachi­gen Bere­ich her­aus­ge­bildet. Das Pro­gramm wird in der Haupt­sache nicht „gemacht”, son­dern repräsen­tiert laufende Arbeit­spro­jek­te im Feld, soweit sie zum Vor­trag ange­boten wer­den. Die Mehrzahl der Ref­er­enten sind nicht-akademis­che Forsch­er, die gle­ich­wohl akademis­ches Niveau anstreben. Auch akademis­che Autoren aus ver­schiede­nen Fakultäten, vor allem jün­gere, nutzen das Sym­po­sion zur Vorstel­lung ein­schlägiger Arbeiten.

Die Teil­nehmerzahl hat sich, nach Spitzen­werten von über 120, auf ca. 90–100 Per­so­n­en eingepegelt. Trotz­dem hat die Ver­anstal­tung ihren Charak­ter als Arbeit­str­e­f­fen behal­ten. Die Kosten, und damit auch die Teil­nah­mege­bühren, wer­den bewusst niedrig gehal­ten. Für den Ablauf galt lange, dass am Fre­ita­gnach­mit­tag zwei, am Sam­stag zweimal drei und am Son­ntagvor­mit­tag zwei halb­stündi­ge Vorträge ange­boten wur­den. Seit 2017 wird für den Fre­ita­gnach­mit­tag ein „Ehren­gast” ein­ge­laden: ein/e namhafte/r Kolleg/in, auch aus dem Aus­land, der/die nor­maler­weise nicht den Weg zu uns find­en würde und dem/der eine län­gere Vor­tragszeit zur Ver­fü­gung gestellt wird. Es wird Wert darauf gelegt, dass nach den Vorträ­gen je eine halbe Stunde Zeit für die Diskus­sion bleibt. Das Sym­po­sion wird durch eine organ­isatorische Sitzung beschlossen, in der sein basis­demokratis­ch­er Charak­ter zur Gel­tung kommt. Ein Buf­fet am Fre­itagabend ist fes­ter Bestandteil des Pro­gramms. Auch am Sam­stagabend wird die Möglichkeit für ein gesel­liges Zusam­men­sein geboten. Passende Rand­ver­anstal­tun­gen, zum Beispiel „Mit­teilun­gen aus dem Archiv zur Geschichte der Psy­cho­analyse”, wer­den je nach Ange­bot ins Pro­gramm aufgenommen.

Aus Anlass des 20. Sym­po­sions 2007 hat Ger­hard Ficht­ner die Pro­gramme der bish­eri­gen Sym­posien zusam­mengestellt. Seine Doku­men­ta­tion, ergänzt um die Sym­posien 21 und 22, ist von dieser Seite aus zugänglich. Ab dem 23. Sym­po­sion wird eine neue, fort­laufende Doku­men­ta­tion vorgelegt. Außer­dem kön­nen auf dieser Seite der Call for Papers und das Pro­gramm (mit Anmelde­for­mu­lar) des jew­eils bevorste­hen­den Sym­po­sions abgerufen werden.

In der Ple­narver­samm­lung des 25. Sym­po­sions wurde beschlossen, dass sich das Sym­po­sion zum Gedenken an Ger­hard Ficht­ner, der am 4. Jan­u­ar 2012 ver­stor­ben ist (siehe den Nachruf in LUZIFER-AMOR, Heft 49), an der Ein­rich­tung eines Ger­hard-Ficht­ner-Stipendi­ums für Forschun­gen zur Geschichte der Psy­cho­analyse beteiligt, das auf Anre­gung von Ludger M. Her­manns, dem Vor­sitzen­den des Vere­ins Archiv zur Geschichte der Psy­cho­analyse, ins Leben gerufen wurde.

We seek pro­pos­als for a con­fer­ence on the his­to­ry of nuclear research in med­i­cine. The con­fer­ence will be held at the Med­ical Uni­ver­si­ty of Vien­na and the Aus­tri­an Acad­e­my of Sci­ences in Vien­na from the 20th to 21st of March 2023. Dead­line for sub­mis­sions is the 15th of Novem­ber 2022.

Nuclear research in med­i­cine relies on a high degree of inter­ac­tion. While the pro­duc­tion of radioiso­topes and the devel­op­ment of med­ical devices are car­ried out by physi­cists and engi­neers, chemists and phar­ma­cists take over the syn­the­ses of radio­phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals, while physi­cians focus on their appli­ca­tion. In the absence of hand­books, indus­tri­al­ly avail­able devices, and radioiso­topes, ear­ly spe­cial­ists were also depen­dent on mul­ti­lat­er­al exchanges. These were fos­tered by post-war agree­ments for the peace­ful use of atom­ic ener­gy and inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tions such as the IAEA and WHO. Thus, the for­ma­tion of nuclear med­i­cine as dis­ci­pline was the result of a glob­al bal­anc­ing and stan­dard­iza­tion process dur­ing the Cold War era. Its ori­gins are traced in the first broad clin­i­cal appli­ca­tions of radioiso­topes pri­mar­i­ly in the Unit­ed States and the Unit­ed King­dom just before the Sec­ond World War and con­tin­ued with the world­wide dis­sem­i­na­tion of rel­e­vant knowl­edge and tech­niques that were main­ly trig­gered by the Unit­ed Nations inter­na­tion­al orga­ni­za­tions. Nev­er­the­less, in many coun­tries, nuclear med­i­cine did not get rec­og­nized as a med­ical spe­cial­ty with sep­a­rate res­i­den­cy train­ing until the 1990s.

This sym­po­sium focus­es on the emer­gence of nuclear med­i­cine as an out­come of sci­en­tif­ic col­lab­o­ra­tion and com­pe­ti­tion, bound­ary and inter­dis­ci­pli­nary work, and encoun­ters between var­i­ous (inter)national stake­hold­ers, as well as polit­i­cal, diplo­mat­ic, and sci­en­tif­ic insti­tu­tions. We wel­come con­tri­bu­tions that address the sci­en­tif­ic, polit­i­cal, diplo­mat­ic, and social dimen­sions of these inter­ac­tions, the knowl­edge, resources, and poli­cies involved.

Poten­tial top­ics include:

- Transna­tion­al coop­er­a­tion and com­pe­ti­tion among researchers, clin­i­cal prac­ti­tion­ers, insti­tu­tions and disciplines
– Shar­ing of nuclear med­i­cine knowl­edge, meth­ods, mate­ri­als, and spaces with­in Europe and around the globe
– Devel­op­ment of stan­dards, rules, man­u­als, and measuring/imaging devices
– Polit­i­cal, social, and gen­dered aspects of sci­en­tif­ic inter­ac­tion, licens­ing, and reg­u­la­to­ry gov­er­nance of the field
– Safe­ty, secu­ri­ty, and dis­pos­al of radioac­tive waste pro­duced by nuclear med­ical practices
– Hier­ar­chies and net­works of exchange

Venue
We are plan­ning this sym­po­sium to be an in-per­son event, con­sist­ing of a wel­come recep­tion at the Med­ical Uni­ver­si­ty of Vien­na on the evening of March 20 and lec­tures on the premis­es of the Aus­tri­an Acad­e­my of Sci­ences on March 21. The sym­po­sium will take place in Eng­lish and is free of charge.

Abstract sub­mis­sion
To apply, please send an abstract (no longer than 250 words), a brief bio, and con­tact infor­ma­tion (all in one word file) to Johannes Mattes, johannes.mattes@oeaw.ac.at, by 15 Novem­ber 2022. We will let you know about our deci­sion by mid-Decem­ber. Part of our plan is to pub­lish a col­lec­tive peer-reviewed spe­cial jour­nal issue based on the final sub­mis­sions of the participants.

Con­fer­ence

In the Fric­tions: Frag­ments of Care, Health, and Well­be­ing in the Balkans

Care has been broad­ly defined as “every­thing that we do to main­tain, con­tin­ue, and repair our ‚world’ so that we can live in it as well as pos­si­ble” (Fish­er and Tron­to 1991, p. 40). Com­plex rela­tions of care sus­tain our lives and are nec­es­sary not only for the sur­vival of humans and non­hu­mans alike, but also for their flour­ish­ing. Struc­tured through var­i­ous mech­a­nisms and insti­tu­tions, from kin­ships to states, care pro­duces var­i­ous forms of inti­ma­cy and relatedness.

In the wake of the Covid 19 pan­dem­ic, there has been a resur­gence of inter­est in care, health, and well­be­ing across var­i­ous dis­ci­plines. We are inter­est­ed in how anthro­pol­o­gy has respond­ed to the urgent changes in the field of care and in iden­ti­fy­ing the after­math of Covid-19 and post-Covid-19 real­i­ties in the Balkans.

We rec­og­nize, how­ev­er, that the pan­dem­ic has been only one of the most recent dis­rup­tions in rela­tions of care and acknowl­edge that the real-world pro­grams of neolib­er­al restruc­tur­ing are not lin­ear paths that con­verge but are forged in fric­tions of sit­u­at­ed encoun­ters with ear­li­er social and cul­tur­al land­scapes. While the term „Balka­ns” is fraught with ambiva­lent mean­ings and asso­ci­a­tions, this con­fer­ence aims to move away from Balka­nism (Todor­o­va, 2009) and dichoto­mous frame­works to rethink the Balka­ns as a site of knowl­edge pro­duc­tion that has more to offer than just “catch­ing up” with the West. What the­o­ret­i­cal and method­olog­i­cal issues do anthro­pol­o­gists face in their research in the Balka­ns? How do peo­ple in the Balka­ns relate to one anoth­er with­in car­ing rela­tion­ships them­selves? What does care look like in prac­tice and what does it entail? How are car­ing rela­tion­ships shaped and changed? How do these expe­ri­ences and rela­tion­ships inform or chal­lenge broad­er the­o­ret­i­cal concerns?

We see this con­fer­ence as a step towards build­ing a net­work of anthro­pol­o­gists work­ing on the issues of care in SEE.  Pos­si­ble top­ics include but are not lim­it­ed to:

Struc­tur­al vio­lence and care;

Gen­der­ing care;

Racial­iz­ing care;

Sol­i­dar­i­ty and care;

Nar­ra­tives of (health)care;
