Colloquium 21

Title: "The Black Man and the Mermaid: Desire and Disruption in the Analytic Relationship"
Paper: "The Black Man and the Mermaid: Desire and Disruption in the Analytic Relationship"
Author: Dianne Elise
Running Dates: Monday, October 1st - Sunday, October 14th, 2012
Moderators: Galit Atlas-Koch and Steven Kuchuck
Panel: Tony Bass, Andrea Celenza,  Jill Gentile, Hillary Grill, Sara Hill, Irwin Hirsch, Hazel Ipp, Kelley Laine, Gianni Nebbiosi, Jonathan Slavin, Cleonie White


This colloquium will address issues of gender, sexuality, desire, fantasy, and race among others.  We will be paying particular attention to how these concepts emerge within the context of the analytic relationship.  Toward that end, self-disclosure and the analytic frame and process will also be explored.

As usual, we will open the colloquium with 2-3 days of discussion amongst an international panel of psychoanalytic scholars representing a wide range of perspectives on these subjects. In this initial phase, the panelists and author will be responding to Elise’s paper and to each other’s’ comments about the paper and related themes. We will then open the floor to the entire community for continued discussion with all who care to respond and/or follow along.

We look forward to a meaningful and engaging online conversation and hope that all of you will participate. So that those of you who want to prepare ahead of time can do so, we will send the reading to the entire IARPP community about a week before our October 1st start date.
