The Øther: the online journal of the SFSLS

ANNOUNCEMENT

I am very pleased to inform the community of Lacanian analysts, scholars, and students, that the San Francisco Society of Lacanian Studies is reviving our on-line journal, The Other. It is edited by the members of the Society.

We invite all members of the Lacanian community, in the United States and everywhere else, to submit papers for inclusion in what we hope will be an important resource on psychoanalysis. Papers must be in English, and must relate to Lacanian theory and/or praxis. We will post suitable papers as we receive them. They will be available in at least two places on our site - under the main subject, and under the author's name. All authors will retrain copyright of their own material, and may ask to have a paper removed at any time. Please submit in word format to Anna Shane, ashane@jps.net.

Authors will also submit a biography, and a list of previous publications, and where they can be found. If you have a paper that is no longer available, you may submit it and we'll include it, with acknowledgement of first publication, if you retain the copyright. It is important to date the paper, from when it was first written, and/or first published. We don't adhere to a particular footnote or endnote policy.

We are particularly interested in papers relating to one of Lacan's published or unpublished works, to Freud, commentaries on contemporaries, such as Benvenuto, Miller, Safouan, Ragland and Zizek, and book reviews. We will have a special section on Film and Psychoanalysis, Art and Psychoanalysis, Crime and Psychoanalysis, The Symptom, Politics and Psychoanalysis, and Religion and Psychoanalysis, however we will not refuse any clearly written Lacanian paper that speaks to it's subject. Your paper will be copyedited by an editor of our journal.

Please help us make this a useful site for study by sending in terrific papers you've written already, either unpublished or no longer available. You can also contribute by sending in book reviews, commentaries on papers on our site, as well as with your suggestions and interest.

Thank you,

Anna Shane
