International Conference on Psychoanalysis, Education and Culture
I Forum for Discussion and Debates in Psychoanalysis and Politics
O body, such as locus where the subject (de)encounters the world around him, is the starting point for a field of transformative possibilities. Body belonging to the grammar of desire, appearing as an act in the language that by way of identification is introduced into the economy of jouissance – driven, provoked body by the Real Other, occasionally represented by the mother, who institutes the existent from a need that is theirs (the Other's), with little institution of the little as a subject of desire. What are these bodies, crossed by forces historical, political and subjective? What powers can be mobilized when, In psychoanalytic listening, do these bodies fa(ca)lam and reclaim(t)ente their ex-sistencies? This meeting proposes to think about affirmative and creative actions that use the psychoanalysis as a practical and symbolic tool for social transformation, seeking to strengthen the power of subjects and communities based on singularity of their bodily experiences.
Be the biological body, object of medicine and surgical interventions, the body social sphere, shaped by the forces of collective norms, or the body politic, which is erects as a territory of resistance and struggle, all carry layers of meanings that go beyond their apparent limits. More than an analysis theoretical theory, the challenge here is to summon creative practices that transform these dimensions in fields of action, emancipation and desire.
A psychoanalysis, since Freud, was born as a practice of listening that was organized in the intersection of discourse and body. It is in the relationship between physicality (Körper) and the subjective experience (Leib) that the symptom emerges, resignifying traumatic experiences and making room for new meanings. This gesture founder, politician and clinician, offers ways to transform bodies silenced/marginalized in powerful bodies, capable of creating and resisting. Than affirmative and creative practices can arise from this encounter between body and language? How these practices can respond to contemporary challenges, especially in Brazil, where peripheral, racialized and dissident bodies face social exclusion and necropolitics?

Bodies Moving 2025 looking for theories or reflections academics who use psychoanalysis as a emancipatory force. We are looking for experiences transformative societies that, through listening and language, promote autonomy, reveal the power and creative force in the subjects. It is from the creative action that we intend to build a space of resistance, welcome and reinvention of bodies, bodies and subjectivities.
Search texts that demonstrate how psychoanalysis can be articulated with artistic, educational, community and political practices to generate impact social. Examples include social clinics aimed at vulnerable populations, listening programs in schools and peripheries, artistic initiatives that value body narratives, affirmative actions with becomings-others as LGBTQIAPN+ populations, trans, migrants and people with disabilities, ageism. Or The goal is to transform normalized, stigmatized, silenced or erased in territories of desire, resistance and creation.
O
BODY AS TRANSFORMATION FIELD
Na contemporaneity, psychoanalysis is called upon to think not only about the body of the symptom, but also the body as a territory of symbolic intersections, political and creative. In times marked by hyperconnectivity, systemic violence and through the policies of exclusion, bodies emerge as spaces of confrontation and power.
O body-border, which inhabits the limits between the psychic and the social, carries historical and cultural marks that narrate exclusions and resistances. He is a body-rhizome, whose connections tension norms and open up new possibilities of existence. It is also the desiring body, which finds in psychoanalysis a space to rearticulate memories, traumas and fantasies, producing new ways of being and being in the world.
O Brazil, as a territory marked by inequality and racism, presents us with An inescapable challenge: to think of psychoanalytic practices that respond to the demands of excluded and marginalized populations, a space where we can return to being black, being trans, being LGBTQIAPN+, being a woman and becoming-other<span style="font-size: 14px;">. From the first social clinics to contemporary inclusion projects, psychoanalysis has been called upon to act in the face of crises and social violence, becoming a tool of resistance and transformation. Subversion is key. Open the gates!
