Date sent: Sat, 9 Mar 1996 15:31:40 +0000 To: C.Evans@sghms.ac.uk From: Robert Maxwell Young Subject: New ejournal: Please propagate notice CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS TO NEW EJOURNAL: _PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDIES_ When the email forum psychoanalytic-studies@sheffield.ac.uk was launched, it was intended that it should be associated with a journal with the same name and scope: the academic, scholarly study of psychoanalysis and related psychodynamic approaches. The editors are now ready to inaugurate the ejournal version, to be followed in due course by a print edition. We now invite submissions on any topic within the broad range mentioned below. They can be sent too the Managing Editor (see below) as attachments to an email posting, as email (thereby losing formatting), on a floppy disc or in writing (somewhat tedious, since that will require scanning into a computer). A submission will undergo a preliminary evaluation, and if it is thought to be potentially publishable, it will be put on the journal's web site for discussion and constructive criticism on the psychoanalytic-studies forum. (Access to the web site will also be available to non-members of the forum, who can write directly to authors.) After a time, the author will be asked to consider revisions, and a decision will be made about publishing it and making it a permanent feature of the journal's archives on the net and, in due course, in print. We also invite unsolicited reviews, which will be treated as submissions. Reviews will also be commissioned. Please encourage publishers to send review copies to the journal (address below). Since some of the economic constraints which operate on printed journals do not operate on ejournals, we may have more than one review of a given book, and we may include some commentaries with the final ejournal published version of articles. If you are considering writing an article or review or other submission, you may wish to consult with the Managing Editor or the Reviews Editor (see below), but this is not a requirement. The web site will be announced when we have enough material to launch it. In the meantime, you can get some idea of what we envisage from in the web sites of related journals: _Free Associations_: http://www.shef.ac.uk/~psysc/rmy/fa.html _Science as Culture_: http://www.shef.ac.uk/~psysc/rmy/sac.html both of which are associated with email forums. For a list of these and related forums and sites and academic programmes in psychodynamic approaches to human nature, go to: http://www.shef.ac.uk/~psysc/ Description of the related forum: Inter-Psych email forum on PSYCHOANALYTIC STUDIES: Psychoanalytic-Studies@sheffield.ac.uk This forum, which is associated with a new journal of the same name, is devoted to the _academic, scholarly_ discussion of all aspects of psychoanalysis and related psychodynamic approaches. Among the topics covered are: history, theory, cultural studies, film, literature, drama, critical theory, anthropology, art, feminism, gender studies, biography & autobiography, personality psychology, dynamic psychiatry, social science, philosophy, methodology - anything which includes a psychoanalytic (or, broadly speaking, psychodynamic) dimension. If you wish to subscribe to the forum, sent a message to: listproc@sheffield.ac.uk Body of message: subscribe psychoanalytic-studies yourname The ejournal web site will include news, a student section and regular features about psychoanalytic studies programmes and academic research in various academic institutions. Articles under consideration and other submissions will be available for discussion and downloading. A permanent journal site and archive will be created for final versions of accepted articles, reviews, etc. A print version of the journal will appear in due course. Rationale: There is a rapidly-growing development of masters and doctoral programmes (even an undergraduate one in Dublin) in psychoanalytic studies: Kent, Sheffield, Middlesex, East London/Tavistock, Brunel, Leeds Metropolitan, Manchester Metropolitan, Dublin, Essex, Central London, Anna Freud Centre/University College London. There are nearly a dozen which are up and running and others in the planning stage, e.g., Bristol. There are also a number of institutions in the United States which are not formally constituted in the same way but which foster such work, e.g., The New School in New York and the Centre for the Psychological Study of the Arts at the University of Florida. The British programmes are centrally about psychoanalysis as an academic subject and have no clinical component. There are also a goodly number of scholars in all sorts of disciplines in various countries with no focus in a journal, much less an email forum. The forum and journal are: 1. academic: not clinical, although academic, historical and conceptual aspects of the clinic are included. 2. interdisciplinary: embraces the wide range of topics mentioned in the above description of the forum 3. international: subscribers to the journal and forum and board membership, and we have an interest in geographical aspects of psychoanalysis It should be noted that many of the above topics are being actively considered by Lacanian scholars and in Lacanian email forums and journals. This forum/journal will gladly consider Lacanian contributions. However, it is also part of its mission to encourage other points of view within the psychoanalytic tradition, broadly conceived, e.g., Winnicottian and Kleinian cultural studies, as well as Freudian and Jungian ones. A regular feature will be 'Publications Received and Noticed', with brief descriptions, where applicable. Readers and board members are be encouraged to submit items - anything which is thought to fall within the forum/journal's rubric and that other readers may wish to know about.
