This conference
aims at promoting dialogue and debate as a practice within the theoretical work
in psychology and related fields, and also may draw attention to the role that
dialogue and debate play in psychological and social life.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Host
The
conference will be hosted by two universities in Santiago:
Pontificia
Universidad Católica de Chile and Universidad Alberto Hurtado.
ISTP
conferences are the premier opportunity for theoretical psychologists and
graduate students interested in theoretical issues in psychology and related
fields to present, discuss, and reflect on theoretical research in the human
sciences. Generating collaborations and dialogues with colleagues from all over
the world will be encouraged throughout the conference, designed as an
atmosphere of thoughtful debate, enabling further development of ideas. In this
international context, Latin American perspectives are of special importance in
this 2013 conference.

Larrain (Chile), Andres Haye (Chile), Ole Dreier (Denmark), Vanessa Lux

Call for presentation proposals
Different
presentation formats will be accepted. For details about the possible formats,
see our webpage on Conference formats.
We strongly
recommend the submission of conversation sessions –organized as interactive
symposia, round tables, debates, among other forms– designed to generate
discussion. It is also possible to submit individual papers, which will be
scheduled in group sessions by the organizing team.
As an
initial and wide thematic orientation, we call for proposals around the
following five lines:
•
Education
and public debate
•
Social
psychology and affect
•
Psychoanalysis
and dialogism
•
Biology
and culture interpenetration
•
Power,
subjectivation, and liberation
Detailed
information about the final thematic lines of the conference –its main
‘discussion themes’– are published in the Discussion
Themes webpage, after the Program Committee selected the Discussion Frame
proposals received (see here
information about the Discussion Frames call for proposals). The purpose of
specifying Discussion Themes is to give the opportunity to prepare presentation
proposals in the context of one of these, so to promote the encounter of
presentations within shared topics. When submitting your presentation
proposal, you will have the opportunity to indicate one or more Discussion
Theme where your feel your proposal would make an interesting contribution.
However, presentation proposals may be associated to one of the Discussion
Themes or not. In case a presentation is attached to a given Discussion
Theme, this imply neither that authors are limited in their participation to
the sessions dedicated to such theme, nor that they are expected to participate
in all discussion instances within this theme.
