Introduction

To establish relations and work on the bridges between potentially allied fields is an unequivocal necessity of our time. Connections between psychoanalysis and law are required not only for conceptual or theoretical needs, but also for the vast range of practical implications and possibilities their association enables. This seems particularly true in this historic moment when so many aspects of human subjectivity – migration, exile, prejudices (racism, homophobia, misogyny, antisemitism) – are proving so challenging to dissolve or transcend.
