| Summary: | In 1979, an International Symposium on the Unconscious took place in Tbilisi, organised under the aegis of the Georgian Academy of Science. To this day, it is a milestone in the history of the dialogue between the West and the Soviet Union in the field of the human sciences. An historical analysis of this event, which was based on a threefold logic—Georgian, Soviet and international—enables us to reconstruct the development of the Georgian school of psychology in its connection with the conditions of possibility of the development of psychoanalysis in the USSR. The symposium was part of the attempt to rehabilitate the unconscious, linked to the strategies of the international situation of the time, as illustrated by the events surrounding its organisation. These interconnections open onto a reevaluation of the circulation of knowledge between East and West, in a transnational perspective. |
