In the 2013 summer semester, the first round of the public lecture series which began in the 2009-10 winter semester under the title "Pathologies of the Modern Age" is due to end. The talks during this semester under the motto "Modernities – Conflicting Modern Ages" (Modernities – Konfligierende Modernen) are concerned in very different ways with the issue of the duplication of cultural perspectives and the (not only discursive) clash of various modern ages. The public lecture series at the International Psychoanalytic University (IPU) Berlin is intended to be a reflection on culture from a psychoanalytical perspective with the aim of designating the IPU as a centre of discourse between psychoanalysis and the cultural, humanities and social sciences.

May we warmly invite you to join us in our exploratory efforts in this field and discuss the topics and issues that arise together with us.

We are looking forward to meeting you.
Your IPU

Wie können wir eine humanwissenschaftlich reiche, weder nur geltungstheoretische noch bloß psychologistische Auffassung von Sinn und Bedeutung entwickeln, die von der konventionellen Bedeutung wortsprach- licher Äußerungen bis hin zum affektiven, leiblichen und unbewusste Konflikte inszenierenden „Sinn von Symptomen“ reicht?

Verfolgen Sie diese Diskussion von Psychoanalytikern und Philosophen.

Organisiert und durchgeführt wird die Konferenz von der IPU Berlin (Prof. Dr. Lilli Gast) in Kooperation mit der Universität Witten/Herdecke (Prof. Dr. Matthias Kettner).

The IPU's "Psychoanalysis as a Reflection of Culture" lecture series has become very popular and gained a strong audience appeal both outside and within the university. The lectures are set to continue in the 2012 summer semester under the title "Pathologies of the Modern Age - Certitude as Fiction. The Uncertainty of the Modern Age". They also contain approaches from various disciplinary perspectives with the aim of establishing and continuing a discourse between psychoanalysis and cultural studies, the humanities and social sciences. We, the group organising the lecture series, are looking forward to more undoubtedly exciting lectures by renowned scientists and academics, to which all interested parties are warmly invited to attend.

Trauma Pedagogy - A Way out of Trauma?

Trauma pedagogy has become a subject of increasing importance. As children and adolescents with early traumatic stress  tend to repeat these experiences in their current relationships, youth welfare facilities, foster families and indeed adoptive families, as well as individual case assistants, family supporters and others are often confronted by adverse progress despite all their efforts. Addiction, criminality, chronic psychiatric treatment and social marginality are all counted among the potential consequences of this. An educational science which reflects this complexity of problems and offers new routes rather than retraumatisation is urgently required here. The conference is intended to reveal insights into the range of issues involved, highlight already developed trauma pedagogy concepts and provide perspectives for further qualifications in this sector.

Organisational Information

The conference is being held between 09.30 and 17.30 in the Lecture Building (new building) at the International Psychoanalytic University Berlin (IPU), Stromstraße 2, 10555 Berlin. You can find us here.
