'''Jacques-[[Alain]] Miller''' - the son-in-law of [[France|French]] [[psychoanalysis|psychoanalyst]] [[Jacques Lacan]] (in 1967 he [[married]] [[Lacan]]'s daughter [[Jacques-Alain Miller|Judith Miller]]) - is a prominent [[Lacanian]] [[psychoanalyst]].
'''Jacques-Alain Miller''' is a prominent Lacanian psychoanalyst, if not the pre-eminent Lacanian psychoanalyst. As a student at the [[École Normale Supérieure]], he met Lacan in 1964 while attending his [[seminars]] at the rue d'Ulm. After having read everything Lacan had thus far published, he asked him, "Does your [[notion]] of the [[subject]] imply an [[ontology]]?" and an entente was made with him. In 1966 he founded ''Cahiers pour l'[[Analyse]]'', a seminal publication whose editorial board included Alain [[Badiou]], François Regnault and [[Jean-Claude Milner]]. He was the editor of ''[[Ornicar]]?'' when Lacan announced the [[dissolution]] of L'Ecole Française de [[Psychanalyse]], and the foundation of L'École de la [[Cause]] Freudienne.
'''Jacques-Alain At the École Normale Supérieure, Miller''' - studied with [[Louis Althusser]] at the son-in-law of same [[France|Frenchtime]] as [[psychoanalysis|psychoanalystJacques Derrida]] and [[Jacques Rancière]], but soon he was following the [[teachings]] of [[Jacques Lacan]] (who in 1967 1964 has been appointed lecturer at the École Pratique des Hautes [[Etudes]]. [[Althusser]] assigned him the task of [[reading]] of "all of Lacan" and Miller carried out the task admiringly: it is him who asks Lacan the famous question: "Does your notion of the subject imply an ontology?" In time he married would become instrumental in Lacan's daughter Ecole Freudienne de [[Paris]]. When Lacan moves to the [[University]] of [[Vincennes]] - the Department of [[Psychoanalysis]] is renamed "Le [[Champ]] freudien" - Lacan becomes its director, and Jacques-Alain Miller|Judith the president. Lacan's dissolution of the École Française de Psychanalyse in 1980 is followed by the creation of La [[cause freudienne]]. Soon he dies leaving Milleras the sole editor of his Seminars, an endeavor that will require Miller's entire [[life]]) - is a prominent Lacanian psychoanalyst.
Jacques-Alain Miller, who had married Lacan's daughter, started in 1983 his own weekly seminars, called "L'Orientation lacanienne" intended to expound and elucidate Lacan's [[work]]. As the editor of Jacques Lacan's seminars, having so far published half of [[them]] in [[French]]. He also supervised the [[English]] translations of Lacan's work: "[[Écrits]]", and the seminars, "The Four Fundamental [[Concepts]] of Psychoanalysis", "The [[Ethics]] of Psychoanalysis", ''[[Encore]] - On [[feminine]] [[Sexuality]]''. In 2001 he started a series of [[public]] interventions on behalf of the independence of psychoanalysis vis-à-vis [[government]] [[control]] in [[France]]. He wrote ''First [[Letter]] addressed by Jacques-Alain Miller to An Enlightened Public'', "Clear Like Day Letter" and "The Tenderness of [[Terrorism]]" where he asserted that "an [[analyst]] is only authorized by her/himself (Lacan's dictum: l'[[analyste]] ne s'autorise que de lui-même).
At the same time Miller was [[responsible]] for an enormous expansion of Lacanian study groups throughout the [[world]]: Spain, Great [[Britain]] and Italy in [[Europe]], and [[Argentina]] and [[Brazil]] in [[Latin]] America. In the early nineties, Miller's work began to be translated into English and published in the [[United States]] through the New York-based [[cultural]] journal [[Lacanian Ink]]. More recently [[other]] groups have taken root in America, notably in Omaha, Nebraska and around Columbia University in New York. In 1992 Miller set up the [[World Association of Psychoanalysis]], WAP, in [[order]] to advance Lacan's teachings. Today it has over a thousand members in Europe, America and Australia. The WAP creates [[Schools]] that transmit psychoanalysis, ensure the [[formation]] of [[analysts]], [[guarantee]] their qualification and the quality of their [[practice]]. Within the [[frame]] of his "Orientation lacanienne" Miller works in conjunction with other European [[philosophers]] such as [[Slavoj Zizek]] and [[Alain Badiou]].  ==References==*[http://www.causefreudienne.org École de la Cause Freudienne]*[http://www.lacan.com/journal.htm Les Cahiers pour l'Analyse] ==Bibliography==*[http://www.lacan.com/framejam.htm Articles in Lacanian Ink]*[http://www.lacan.com/jamfam.htm A Critical Reading of Jacques Lacan's "Les Complexes Familiaux"]*[http://www.lacan.com/bibliographyjam.htm Bibliography in English]*[http://www.lacan.com/frameXXVI2.htm Reading Jacques Lacan's Seminar on Anxiety - I]*[http://www.lacan.com/lacinkXXVII2.htm Reading Jacques Lacan's Seminar on Anxiety - II] ==Audio==*[http://www.lacan.com/millerlecture.htm Jacques-Alain Miller Live] Ten Lectures at France-[[Culture]] - Summer 2005 {{LA}}pp. 38, 94–95, 135* {{Z}} ''[[Conversations with Žižek|Conversations with Žižek: Slavoj Žižek and Glyn Daly]]''.
