Two-day conference by FREEPSY in collaboration with The Freud Museum London. Friday 13 and Saturday 14 October 2023. ORGANISERS: RALUCA SOREANU & IVAN WARD
Money and its circulation have a fantasy dimension. At the same time, money is an important aspect of how care can be offered and organised.
In this conference, we are guided by a series of questions about the paradoxes and opportunities of money. How do money and ideas circulate in our times? How can we make sense of alternative and anti-capitalist forms of circulation, and how do these appear in different fields of practice? What can psychoanalysis offer for understanding the issue of money? What does a psychosocial theory of value look like? What is the relationship between political economy and libidinal economy?

The theme of this years’ event offers a chance to reflect as individuals, as a group and as a ‘community of communities’ upon what we each bring to the TC and how this collectively shapes it. Do we arrive feeling ‘inside’ or ‘outside’ of the community and why? What are the personal, professional and psychosocial factors involved?
The FREEPSY team will participate this year with the keynote presentation and the panel.
