FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS
The Logic Formulas of Sexuation
Paula Hochman
Friday, January 13, 2023 • 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM
Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (US and Canada)
This presentation will be held via Zoom
As speaking beings, we don't relate to sex through mere anatomy, but through a logic of sexuated identification. Symbolic and real, phallic jouissance and the solitude of a non-symbolizable “Other-sex,” are not in contradiction but in interplay, as this presentation of Lacan's formulas will attempt to show.
Suggested readings: Lacan: Le savoir du Psychanalyste - Entretiens de Sainte-Anne 1971-72, 3 mars, 4 mai, and 1 juin 1972 (English translation available in several internet versions, either as Knowledge of the Psychoanalyst or The Psychoanalyst's Knowledge [Seminar XIXa]).
Paula Hochman practices psychoanalysis in Buenos Aires. She is a member of Topologie en Extension, a professor at universities in Argentina and Brazil, and the author of La función fálica y la castración (TEE), Psicoanálisis del narcisismo y el fantasma. Un método en el laberinto (Ed. Logos Kalós, Buenos Aires 2019), and, in English translation, The Courage to Read (TEE/ L. Álvarez, 2021).
