Y – Journal for Atopic Thought. Philosophy – Psychoanalysis – Cultural Studies
Journal profile
Y – Journal for Atopic Thought. Philosophy – Psychoanalysis – Cultural Studies is the online journal published by IPPK-Press (ISSN 2750-0144), edited by Hilmar Schmiedl-Neuburg (Boston/Kiel), Lutz Götzmann (Berlin), Michael Meyer zum Wischen (Hamburg), Birgit Meyer zum Wischen (Hamburg).
The journal sees itself as a medium for atopic thought, a transdisciplinary fluid thinking without a place.
Y brings psychoanalysis, philosophy as well as art and cultural studies into a critical, open conversation without proceeding narrowly along disciplinary lines. Instead, a polylogical conversation between these different perspectives enables fruitful, multi-and transdisciplinary communication as well as mutual criticism of the perspectives of philosophy, psychoanalysis, cultural studies and art.
Particular attention is paid to the potential of these plural perspectives, whether they be theoretical, clinical, scientific or artistic, to open up not only meaning, but also non-sense, "absense"; in other words the "subversion of meaning".
In this respect, Y atopically links together academic, clinical and cultural discourses and is aimed at scholars, scientists and clinicians as well as artists. The journal appears in blog mode and publishes psychoanalytic, philosophical, artistic and cultural studies articles that are linked to atopic thinking in their topic, form or method.
