Dreaming the Earth

Our era is marked by the word "crisis." No aspect is immune: the state, Europe, institutions, justice, education, the healthcare system, and families. In the midst of economic, social, and health emergencies, as well as environmental ones, Dubosc delves into the crisis brought on by the pandemic, observing the worsening inequalities, the psychological echoes of isolation, the radical medicalization of life and death, and above all, the essential relationship between health and the environment. This is a writing endeavor that has long focused on the "why" and the "after," reflecting on the Anthropocene.

Fabrice Olivier Dubosc trained as an analytical psychologist. His practice, at the intersection of multiple disciplines, questions the possible forms of a postcolonial psychology. His encounters with Fatema Mernissi and Raimon Panikkar have deepened his exploration of the relationship between individual and collective narratives in an intercultural and interreligious sense. He has provided supervision for Sprar projects and missions abroad for the training of psychosocial operators in Georgia. He contributed to the supervision of the research project ‘Bodies Across Borders,’ coordinated by Luisa Passerini for the University Institute of Florence. He has long promoted an interdisciplinary research group on "Crisis Clinic." He is a member of the Association of Analytical Ethnopsychology (ETNA) and a founding member of the Interculture International Foundation. Among his recent publications are Quel che resta del mondo – psiche, nuda vita e questione migrante (MA.GI 2011), Approdi e Naufragi, resistenza culturale e lavoro del lutto (Moretti e Vitali 2016), and, with Nijmi Edres, Piccolo Lessico del Grande Esodo (Minimum Fax 2017). In 2019, he edited Lessico della crisi e del possibile, 100 lemmi per praticare il presente (Seb 27).
