The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis’s French Psychoanalysis in Translation seminar series responds to the steady increase in interest in French psychoanalysis in translation over recent years. English readers are now much better situated to appreciate the breadth and depth of French psychoanalytic thinking thanks to the continued efforts of publishers and translators to bring more classic and contemporary texts to an Anglophone audience. In response to this, the Site is inviting translators to discuss their work and that of the psychoanalytic authors whose texts they have translated.
The first seminar in the series will focus on the work of Pierre Fédida and celebrate the recent publication of his selected essays, Psychopathologies of Living (Routledge, 2025), in English. Translators Patrick Ffrench and Nigel Saint will be in conversation with Site member Ana Minozzo, discussing the important place of Fédida in French academic psychoanalysis and the challenges of rendering his ideas into English.
Please Note: This event is going to be recorded, and the recording will be made available to attendees for FREE.
