The Trans-Tasman Seminar

The Trans-Tasman seminar is the result of a collaboration between members of the Forum of Melbourne, Esther Faye and Susan Schwartz, and of the Forum of Aotearoa New Zealand, Chantal Degril, within the frame of the International of the Forums of the School of Psychoanalysis of the Forums of the Lacanian Field (IF-SPFLF). Its aim is to contribute to Lacanian discourse in our region and beyond by applying theoretical concepts to particular clinical cases. In 2024, Esther Faye and Susan Schwartz became members of the Forum of Aotearoa New Zealand.

The English Speaking Seminars (ESS)

The English Speaking Seminars were initiated in 2020 by the then Delegates of the Forums of the Anglophone zone. This was to ensure regular encounters online between those forums, which, unlike forums of other linguistic zones, are spread around across several continents, hence the difficulty in meeting in person. The ESS provide a space for meeting, reflection and discussion online. The format consists in the presentation by members of various forums, of short papers related to the current International Forums theme, followed by a discussion.
