Call for papers: ‘Les fanatismes aujourd’hui, enjeux cliniques des nouvelles radicalités’
The international and interdisciplinary conference ‘Les fanatismes aujourd’hui, enjeux cliniques des nouvelles radicalités’ (Fanaticisms today, clinical stakes of the new extremisms) will take place at the Université Rennes 2 on October 13 and 14, 2016. It is organized by the lab E.A.4050 ‘Recherches en psychopathologie, nouveaux symptômes et lien social‘ and by the research group on clinical psychopathology and psychanalitical criminology ‘Les nouveaux fanatismes’.
Summary: Defending unwavering causes and truths, religious fanaticisms, either ideological or political, are back today. Radicalization of beliefs, imperialism of scientism as well as a toughening of conservative and security-obsessed governance is demonstrating it. Hence the need to examine their sociopolitical and psychopathological impact. This interdisciplinary and international conference of clinical psychopathology and psychoanalytic criminology, open to contributions from other disciplines (history, sociology, philosophy, psychiatry, law, political science, etc. ) will analyze this new rise of fanaticisms, their conditions of emergence and diffusion (social and political) and their subjective foundations.
