This conference brings together psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic and political theorists and social scientists from a multiplicity of traditions and orientations to examine contemporary apocalyptic anxieties. We focus on how unconscious mechanisms contribute to conceptualize, understand and reinvent the various forms of apocalypses and dematerializations that traverse the present time.
