==Jacques Lacan=====History=======Early Lectures=====

=====Hôpital Sainte-Anne=====In [[{{Y}}|1953]], the venue of these lectures moved to the [[Hôpital Sainte-Anne]], here a larger audience could be accommodated. Although [[Lacan]] 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 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 "the [[seminar]]", in the singular. =====École Normale Supérieure=====After ten years at the [[Hôpital Sainte-Anne]], the [[seminarsingular]] moved to the [[École Normale Supérieure]] in 1964, and to the Faculté de Droit in 1973. These changes of venue were due to various reasons, not least of which was the need to accommodate the constantly growing audience as the [[seminar]] gradually became a focal point in the Parisian intellectual resurgence of the 1950s and 1960s.
