Freud and Lacan on Religion — Jean-Pierre Cléro
This workshop will explore the philosophical references that ground Freud’s and Lacan’s positions on religion. Reckoning with the plurality of languages informing the reflection on religion, we will explore the impact of Feuerbach’s thinking on Freud, as well as Kierkegaard’s and Bentham’s theories on Lacan.
Workshop on the Phantasm — Catherine and Alain Vanier
In this workshop, Catherine Vanier will discuss “The Child’s Phantasm and the Child of Phantasm” in the morning and Alain Vanier will discuss “Transference and Phantasm” in the afternoon.
dates to be announced
On Repetition: Lacan’s Contribution to Logic — André Michels
There is repetition only through scansion by the unary trait, the basis of the constitutive differentiation of the subject. Returning to the logic of the signifier, we will address the structure of repetition and the emergence of the new — one of the major stakes for the future of psychoanalysis.
On Hate and Love — Paola Mieli
The process of identification brings to the fore an intrinsic vulnerability toward otherness, grounding the forms of hainamoration (love/hate) proper to the subject of language, and their subjective and collective manifestations — also typical of the political domain. Identification, narcissism, and the sexual non-relation will be addressed, exploring the vicissitudes of hate and love, and the path toward a relation to otherness that reckons with the real of difference, moving beyond the myth of the One toward a practice of the not-all.
The Logics of the Sexed Being — Gisèle Chaboudez
Since Freud, psychoanalysis has updated its thinking about sex. With Lacan, the pan-phallic logic of the Oedipal gave way to a female logic of the not-all, allowing women an “other jouissance.” The phallic function remains, but it’s no longer exclusive.
