ABSTRACT
We are moving beyond ‘application’ of psychoanalysis in this chapter, pushing at the limits of imposing a theoretical grid onto reality. Here I examine the way that psychoanalytic ideas have been put into practice outside the clinic, focusing on the cultural-political work of art collectives in Slovenia that employed notions of transference and ‘over-identification’ to challenge the regime, a challenge that then inspired some new theoretical movements inside psychoanalysis.
