JSTOR’s Path to Open Supports the Book Series ‘Figures of the Unconscious’

21st June, 2024 in Latest news

We’re excited to announce that JSTOR’s Path to Open, a program to support the open access publication of scholarly books, will support all forthcoming volumes in our book series ‘Figures of the Unconscious’.

Launching as a pilot, Path to Open libraries will contribute funds to enable participating presses – including Leuven University Press – to publish new books on JSTOR that will transition from licensed to open access within three years of publication. The initial pilot will produce about one thousand open access monographs. If successful, it will lay the foundation for an entirely new way to fund long-form scholarship while vastly increasing its impact.

The following volumes in the book series ‘Figures of the Unconscious’ have joined the Path to Open program:

Ferenczi Dialogues: On Trauma and Catastrophe, Raluca Soreanu, Jakob Staberg, and Jenny Willner

Truth and Suffering: Psychoanalysis, Science and the Production of Symptoms, Paulo Beer

Towards the Limits of Freudian Thinking: Critical Edition and Readings of Beyond the Pleasure Principle, Herman Westerink, Jenny Willner, Philippe Van Haute (eds)

Thoughts for the Times on Groups and Masses: A Sigmund Freud Museum’s Symposium, Daniela Finzi, Jeanne Wolff Bernstein (eds) (will be announced soon)
