7th Conference of Analysis & Activism

We are pleased to announce that the 7th Analysis and Activism conference will be held from October 10-November 1, 2026 in Mexico City. The conference theme Transcending Divisions: Borders, Identity, and the Rekindling of Our Shared Humanity – is a direct
response to the global resurgence of authoritarianism, hardened borders, nativism, antiimmigrant policies and an overall sense of a collective devolution.

For more than a decade, and in the course of six conferences held in London, Rome, Prague, Ljubljana, and online, and with the strong support of the IAAP, Analysis and Activism have explored the intersection of Jungian psychoanalysis (and psychoanalysis more broadly) and
political Activism, offering a space to gather, dream, and articulate just what the Jungian project might provide the political world, and how Jungian-informed psychoanalytic interventions might figure into an activist response to political struggles and humanitarian crises.

For our seventh conference and our first in Mexico, we are interested in various topics on borders, identity and division, which can be broadly interpreted. Following Jung, Hillman, Anzaldua, and others, we seek presentations that explore borders (both inner and outer), and
the borderland as a literal and figurative state, the site of trauma as well as resilience. We invite reflections on how hardened borders effect the notion of identity, and how the emergence of the themes such as division and exclusion have influenced the world.
