CPAPEC - COLETIVO

The Activist Research Collective in Psychoanalysis, Education, and Culture is grounded in a psychoanalysis from the margins: a practice of listening committed to bodies, territories, and histories marked by racism, colonialism, patriarchy, LGBTQIA+phobia, and social inequality. We do not merely bring psychoanalysis to the periphery; we affirm that the periphery produces theory, clinical practice, method, language, and culture.

Peripheral Psychoanalysis understands that the subject is never formed outside history. Gender, race, class, territory, sexuality, religion, and social violence shape the unconscious, suffering, desire, and ways of existing. We therefore refuse neutrality as a mask of privilege and affirm the clinic as an ethical, political, and symbolic field.
Our collective brings together psychoanalysis, education, and culture as practices of research, care, emancipation, and social transformation. The margins are not lack: they are power, memory, denunciation, and creation.
