“…Papiasvili likens IRED to an “open work in motion,” a phrase coined by Eco (1979) with respect to the plastic arts to describe “the continuous kaleidoscopic capacity to change and assume new and unrealized structures” that she had invoked in the context of understanding the often-observed progressive integrations that occur after termination of a productive analytic experience (Papiasvili 2016, p. 88). Perhaps this is also an apt depiction of IRED’s potential to catalyze creativity.…”

“…“Translation and interpretation,” Hoffer (1989) has asserted, “are fundamentally similar creative processes” (p. 207). Further extending this perspective, Papiasvili (2016) writes, “I look at interpretation . .…”

“…Papiasvili draws a parallel between Bolognini’s principle of translational fluency (2004) to the analyst’s own epistemological journey via IRED. Bolognini underscored the value of the analyst’s translational fluency, “the readiness to reflectively access images across all layers of the mind including the metaphoric bridging pertaining to various systems of experiences, and between them” (Papiasvili 2016, p. 93). Similarly, facilitating translational fluency with the various conceptual frameworks is essential to IRED’s goals: “Translational bridges to understanding the heterogenous routes of the other’s and one’s own psychoanalytic culture are created, where various perspectives can meet in the territory which does not belong to any of them.…”

facilitating factor for the diffusion of psychoanalysis. Yet, when I began to attend the IPA congresses in the early 1980s, after European, North American, or Latin American analysts presented plenaries, outcries of 'This is not psychoanalysis!' could be heard, that expressed a feeling akin to alienation."Bolognini elaborated his vision of the "IPA mentality" and set the stage to launch and then lead one of IPA's flagship enterprises, the Inter-Regional Encyclopedic Dictionary, shortly after his inauguration as IPA president during the 2013 Congress in Příbor, Freud's birthplace. By calling the project an "encyclopedic dictionary," Bolognini and his fellow founders meant to convey the core mission of IRED as an ever up-to-date compendium that not only provides various contemporary definitions of psychoanalytic concepts (hence, dictionary), but also narrates each concept's historical evolution, dispersion, and transformations globally and its inflections regionally, culturally, and linguistically (hence, encyclopedic).Eva Papiasvili, past co-chair of the North American region and Bolognini's successor as chair of IRED, notes the significance of Příbor: it was there, she recounts, that young Sigmund Freud's care was given over to his Czech-speaking nanny while his mother was preoccupied with two pregnancies and the death of an infant son. Complementing his earliest familial German and Yiddish linguistic trove, he heard sermons in liturgical Latin when he accompanied his nanny to services at the local Catholic church. As she opines, "for the genial child of Příbor, the discovery of 'other' languages and cultures became internally transcribed as the quest for the unconscious-the ultimate 'other'-the stranger in ourselves with its own symbolic code to be cracked, translated, and interpreted." Sharing Freud's provenance in Příbor, the origin of his capacious spirit of inquiry, IRED has shown it to be an apt and auspicious venue. The IPA mentality that undergirds the IRED project can be understood as a contemporary expansion of the multicultural, polyglot history and autodidactic sensibilities of our psychoanalytic progenitor himself. "The IPA mentality," Bolognini (2017b) notes, "is a philosophy rooted in the increasing awareness, inside our scientific community, about the worldwide geographical and cultural basis of the advancement of psychoanalysis today, no more limited to a few early, prestigious and exclusive sources
