==Jacques Lacan=====History=======Early Lectures====In 1951, [[Lacan]] began to give private lectures in [[Sylvia Bataille]]'s apartment at 3 rue de Lille. The lectures were attended by a small group of [[trainee]] [[psychoanalysts]], and were based on readings of some of [[Freud]]'s [[case histories]]: [[Dora]], the [[Rat Man]] and the [[Wolf Man]]. <!-- In 1953 Lacan began a fortnightly [[public]] seminarat Hôpital SainteAnne, the [[psychiatric]] hospital where he worked (for the previous two years he had given private weekly lectures in the apartment of [[FrenchSylvia]]: '[[Bataille]], then the wife of the [[philosopher]] and writer George Bataille (1897-1962) and shortly to become Lacan's second wife). The seminar would continue for the next 26 years. Each year he would take a [[text]] or [[concept]] from Freud and devote the seminar to the study of that text or [[séminaireidea]]) . -->
==Summary==Hôpital Sainte-Anne====In contrast with [[Freud{{Y}}|1953]], whose work was primarily writtenthe venue of these lectures moved to the [[Hôpital Sainte-Anne]], here a larger audience could be accommodated. Although [[Jacques Lacan]]'s work was sometimes refers to the private lectures of 1951-2 and 1952-3 as the first two years of his "[[seminar]]", the term is now usually reserved for the most part an oral improvisation from notes public lectures which began in 1953. From that point on until his [[death]] in 1981, [[Lacan]] took a different theme each academic year and delivered a series of lectures on it. These twenty-seven annual series of lectures are usually referred to collectively as an ongoing "the [[seminar]] that he held ", in Paris from 1953 to 1980the [[singular]].
From 1953 ====École Normale Supérieure====After ten years at the [[Hôpital Sainte-Anne]], the [[seminar]] moved to the [[École Normale Supérieure]] in 1964, and to 1963the Faculté de [[Droit]] in 1973. These changes of venue were due to various reasons, not least of which was the [[Lacanneed]]'s to accommodate the constantly growing audience as the [[seminar]] was held at gradually became a focal point in the Parisian [[Sainte-Anne Hospitalintellectual]] in Parisresurgence of the 1950s and 1960s.
From 1964 to 1969====Speech====Given [[Lacan]]'s [[insistence]] that [[speech]] is the only medium of [[psychoanalysis]], starting with seminar 11<ref>{{E}} p. 40</ref> it is perhaps appropriate that the original means by which [[Lacan]] developed and expounded his [[ideas]] should have been the spoken [[word]]. Indeed, as one commentator has remarked: "it must be [[recalled]] that virtually all of Lacan's 'writings' were originally [[oral]] presentations, that is many ways the open-ended Seminar was held at the his preferred [[École Normale Supérieureenvironment]] on rue d'Ulm. A"
nd finally===Transcripts===As [[Lacan]]'s [[seminar]]s became increasingly popular, [[demand]] grew for written transcripts of the [[seminar]]. However, apart from 1969 a few small articles that he wrote on the basis of some lectures delivered in the course of the [[seminar]], [[Lacan]] never published any account of his own [[seminar]]s. In 1956-9 [[Lacan]] authorised Jean-Bertrand Pontalis to 1980publish a few summaries of sections of the [[seminar]] during those years, starting with but this as not enough to [[satisfy]] the growing demand for written accounts of [[Lacan]]'s teaching. Hence unauthorised transcripts of [[Lacan]]'s [[seminar 17]] began increasingly to be circulated among his followers in an almost clandestine way. Even during [[Lacan]]'s lifetime, it was held before a much larger audience the [[seminar]] circulated in the [[form]] of photocopies of diverse and unreliable written versions of the spoken text. Beginning in 1973, [[Lacan]] entrusted the amphitheater transcription of the [[seminar]] to [[Jacques-Alain Miller]]. In 1973, [[Lacan]] allowed his son-in-law school at , [[Jacques-Alain Miller]], to publish an edited transcript of the lectures given in 1964, the eleventh year of the Panthéon[[seminar]].In an editor's note to ''[[The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis]]'', the first of his publications of [[Lacan]]'s [[seminars]], [[Miller]] writes:
<blockquote>"My [[intention]] here was to be as unobtrusive as possible and to obtain from [[Jacques Lacan]]'s spoken [[work]] an authentic version that would stand, in the [[future]], for the original, which does not [[exist]]."<ref>{{S11}} p. xi</ref></blockquote>
==Early Lectures==In 1951Since then, [[Miller]] has continued to bring out edited versions of [[other]] years of the [[seminar]], although the [[number]] published is still fewer than half. [[Miller]]'s [[role]] in editing and publishing the [[seminar]] has led to some very heated arguments, with opponents claiming he has distorted [[Lacan]] began 's original. However, as [[Miller]] himself has pointed out, the transition from an oral to give private a written medium, and the editing required by this, means that these published versions of the [[seminar]] could never be simple transcripts of the lectures in given by [[Lacan]].<ref>[[Sylvia BatailleJacques-Alain Miller|Miller, Jacques-Alain]]. ''Entretien sur le Séminaire, avec François Ansermet. [[Paris]]: Navarin, 1985</ref> So far only nine of the yearly [[seminar]]s apartment at 3 rue de Lillehave been published in book form, while authorised extracts from [[others]] have appeared in the journal [[Ornicar?]].

of the unpublished years of the [[seminar]] continue to circulate today, both in [[France]] and abroad. [[Name-of-the-Father]] was to be the next [[seminar]], but only a single session was given, on November 25, 1963, at [[Sainte-Anne Hospital]].  [[Lacan]] stopped giving this [[seminar]] when he learned that the [[International Psychoanalytical Association]] had refused to reinstate him as a [[training]] [[analyst]]. Each [[seminar]] contains approximately 25 presentations from the weekly seminar]]. While each presentation is supposed to pick up and follow on from the week before, the connections can often be tenuous.  Unlike the ''[[Écrits]]'', the [[seminar]]s are not difficult to read, but it can still be hard to follow the train of associations and links that [[Lacan]] makes.  Usually, though, in a performative flourish [[Lacan]] will pull the whole presentation together in the final moments and provide a startlingly clear and understandable formulation of what he has been talking about. The individual [[seminar]]s that make up [[Lacan]]'s [[seminar]] are as follows: Because [[Lacan]] was old and ill, seminar 27 was not delivered publicly but only published.  It dealt with the dissolution of his school,École freudienne de Paris (Freudian School of Paris).>== Definition ==A [[seminar]] is a form of academic teaching, at a university or offered by a commercial or professional organization, in small groups where students are requested to actively participate during meetings.  This often has to be done by presenting a paper in class and also in written form. Normally, participants must not be beginners.  The idea behind [[[[seminar]]]]s is to confront students with the methodology of their chosen subject and also to familiarise them with practical problems that might crop up during their research work. Often a [[seminar]] will be open to discussion, where questions can be raised and debates conducted. Another form of academic teaching is lecturing, a form which involves larger student groups with less active participation.  In some European universities a [[seminar]] can be a large lecture course, especially when conducted by a renowned thinker, regardless of the size of the audience or its participation in discussion. =References=See Also==* ''[[École freudienne de Paris]]'' ([[École freudienne de Paris|Freudian School of Paris]]) * [[France]]* [[Jacques-Marie Émile Lacan]]* [[Maurice Merleau-Ponty]]* ''[[Ornicar?]]''* [[Sainte-Anne Hospital]] ==References<div style="font-size:11px" class="references-small">
