Under the umbrella term “Interwoven,” we would like to examine how current theoretical trends—in particular poststructuralism and new materialisms—can challenge, critique, and expand psychoanalytic understandings of the subject. The aim is to bring psychoanalytic, feminist, and ecological perspectives into a fruitful dialogue. Interconnectedness should contribute as a theoretical resource to making the diverse psychological, social, and material dependencies of subjectivity tangible. From there, we are interested in analyzing collectivity. At the same time, we critically question whether the concept of the interwoven subject harbors risks, such as the loss of clear ego boundaries, the affirmation of disorientation, or the theoretical abandonment of psychological mediation.
