Free Associations
Rationale
When the psa-public-sphere forum was first created it was envisaged that it would be related to this web site where various writings could appear, such as:
the texts of talks from the annual Psychoanalysis and the Public Sphere conference,
articles under consideration for publication in Free Associations,
articles from back issues of the journal
other longer pieces which are too long for the forum could appear.
The object is to provide food for thought, to stimulate debate and to obtain constructive criticism for articles. That is, we hope to enhance interesting discussion about the issues which led us to set up the journal, conference and email forum.
Here is how it works. Anyone wishing to submit something to the web site should write to me at robert@rmy1.demon.co.uk, sending the essay, article or whatever by attachment or by email (formatting - italics, indents, spacing, bold, etc. - is retained in attachments, but they don't always get through). I will assess it (taking advice, if I think it relevant to do so) and (very likely) put it on the web site. We will play by ear how long things remain there. Some things may be removed in due course, others may be put on a web 'backlist' and remain available for downloading and/or reading on-line.
People can post comments to the forum, to me or to the author(s).
