This international symposium has a double focus: first, the situation of ‘theory’ today – literary, political, psychoanalytic, aesthetic and philosophical – and the way it relates to freedom. Second, the subject who theorises, with particular attention to the freedom of its constitution and development and to the mutual imbrication of subjectivity and theory: does the subject freely make theory, or is there a reciprocal relationship, a mutually determining sense in which theory also helps constitute the subject? Freedom has been a particular preoccupation of French theory, whether it looks inward in self-scrutiny, outward to a community of readers and emancipatory politics, or across borders in an interdisciplinary exchange.
