Where Does Psychoanalysis Happen
The Politics of the Navel
This article examines psychoanalysis’s relationship to collective affiliation and group identity via its association with two foundational figures, that of the Woman and the Jew. It begins by exploring reportage on the war in Ukraine as it has touched on these figures (often with conflicting and self-contradictory messaging), and it argues that we need psychoanalysis to approach these problematics.

The Queerness of Childhood
This contributed volume represents a meeting of queer theorists and psychoanalysts around the figure of the child.
