Drive or Trauma – Drive and Trauma (Ilse Grubrich-Simitis) revisited : even more relevant than four decades ago
(2026)

After the sad death of our colleague Ilse Grubrich-Simitis, one aim of this paper is to revisit one of her groundbreaking works, “Drive or Trauma – Drive and Trauma” (1987) after almost 40 years. Grubrich-Simitis integrated drive and object relational aspects on the one hand and trauma-specific perspectives on the other in a creative way, as we discuss regarding some conceptual developments in contemporary psychoanalysis. A short case example illustrates the conceptual richness for treating chronically depressed patients with early trauma available to clinicians today. Considering both drive and trauma belongs to the strengths of modern psychoanalytic treatment techniques, which we would like to discuss alongside recent findings of the LACFootnote1 depression study [Comparative outcome study of psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral long-term psychotherapy with chronically depressed patients], indicating that these difficult-to-treat patients profit especially well from psychoanalysis.

Self-affections of imagination and reason in Kant’s sublime
(2025)
Filieri, Luigi
In this article, I provide a detailed reconstruction of the way in which imagination and reason affect the inner sense in Kant’s account of the sublime. My aim is to show how two different forms of self-affection combine with each other. In Section 2, I isolate and follow Kant’s argumentative strategy for the transition from the displeasure due to the representational failure of the imagination to the counterbalancing appeal to reason – and the related pleasure. Drawing on this reconstruction, in Section 3 I frame the transition according to two complementary schemes meant to show the structural differences at each step of the sublime, as well as the way they consistently belong to each other. Section 4 draws some key implications from Section 3 in order to stress the relevance of the distinction and reciprocity between the failure of the imagination and the arousal of reason.

“The technology is just the MacGuffin” : observing innovative learning culture in the development of automated and AI-generated reporting at German Public Service Medium WDR
(2026)

We analyze the complex innovation process that led to the development of automatically written soccer match reports for the Sportschau, a sports magazine produced by German Public Service Medium (PSM) Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). From the perspective of innovative learning culture (ILC), we ask via guideline-based interviews which of its characteristics and conditions could be observed. Findings show that almost all the characteristics of ILC were present, such as the team being allowed by WDR to be experimental and creative in its approach, as were ILC’s conditions, such as open communication and shared goals, which were mainly managed by WDR’s Innovation Hub.
