Call for papers
In the wake of recent French and German studies that attempted to outline a history of
psychology before Freud, with a particular emphasis on the literary field, this call for
papers proposes to scrutinize in a more systematic way the various forms of the “non
conscious” (independent or complementary of psychoanalysis) developed by “scientific
ideologies” from the end of the 19th century to the Modernist period. We intend to focus
on their reception by literature, in the Italian cultural arena, at the beginning of the
20th century, which is mostly ignored by European scholars.
By “non conscious” we mean all the phenomena that govern individual behavior outside
the sphere of will and reason, regardless of epistemological category. In this sense, “non
conscious” as we intend it doesn’t square precisely with the psychoanalytic concept of
the unconscious but instead relates to the so-called paradigm of the unintentional
(Jacqueline Carroy).
2. explore the relationships between literature, psychology and other human sciences,
such as ethnography, with regard to the representation of the “non conscious” in the so-
called primitive mentality, or political anthropology, in as far as it relates to the
collective mechanics of suggestion.
Interested parties are invited to contact the editors before sending their contributions if
they would like more precise information or if they have doubts about the relevance of
their proposal.
Proposals (articles ready for publication and accompanied by abstracts) must be sent
by 30 October 2020 following the instructions available on Between's website, on the
submissions page. The articles finally accepted will be published at May 2021.
