Knot: A Psychoanalytic Journal – Launch!
It’s finally here! It is with a heart full of warmth and a deep sense of gratitude that we welcome you to the very first issue of Knot: A Psychoanalytic Journal.
We hope you can join us on Sunday November 15th at 10 AM via Zoom.
Open to all but requires REGISTRATION HERE
When we first dreamt of this journal, we imagined a space that could capture the spirit of our gatherings—the rigor, the intimacy, and the shared passion for psychoanalytic thinking. Holding this first issue in our hands (or seeing it on our screens!), we feel we’ve done just that.
This inaugural issue is the tangible outcome of LaConference 2025: On Feminine Desire, which gathers the proceedings of those two enriching days in Vancouver, where students, analysands, researchers, artists, academics, and psychoanalysts came together to celebrate the life and work of two truly remarkable thinkers, Anne Dufourmantelle and Mari Ruti.
This issue is our attempt to keep that conversation alive. It’s a way to honor their legacy through a pulsating dialogue that continues to challenge and inspire us. You, our authors, are the ones who make that possible and we want to thank you for your courage, vulnerability and intellectual generosity. You have entrusted us with your work, and with such honor, we are ready to share it to the wider psychoanalytic community we are building together.
May this journal serve as a source of inspiration, provocation, and connection for years to come.
