Subjectivities in transit: art, voices and movement.
The experience of being a subject has been at the center of psychological and social thought since a while. It is a problematic experience insofar as we live moving through alterity and difference, through acting objects and subjects, and through somewhat contradictory normative demands. We have though the experience of being one subject and of one body. How do we get that experience? What are the affective effects of having that experience? What are the political conditions of that experience?
In this version of the summer school, we invite to think about subjectivities in transit theorizing the specific ways through which embodied cultural life produces individuals.
The summer school is organized by the Doctoral Program in Psychology, Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Chile, and is sponsored by the International Society for Theoretical Psychology (ISTP), with the aim of contributing to advancing in the understanding and analysis of the effort of individuation, and the subjective experience involved in it, in its intersectional and processual dynamics.
The summer school is directed at doctoral students and researchers interested in understanding individuation and identity as a socially grounded, dialogically constituted, politically engaged, and subjectively experienced process of affective becoming. We invite doctoral students and researchers to join a collaborative, formative space of rigorous and critical thinking.
