| 03 décembre 1969 | Premier impromptu de Vincennes | mp3 |
|
Between 1969-1970, Jacques Lacan planned to give 4 conferences in the experimental-popular university of Vincennes (Paris), 4 "impromptus" about his formalisation of the 4 discourses (Discourse of the Hysteric, of the Master, of the University, of the Analyst). The "Premier impromptu de Vincennes" (first impromptu in Vincennes) was finally the first and the last one (the audience was probably still too critical because of May 1968 to receive Lacan's discourse in university). He wanted here to talk about the « Discourse of the Master » but there were too many non-pertinent interventions from the audience. This conference is not really a part of Lacan's Séminaire, but it was published as an annexe (under the name "Analyticon") in the official version of this year's Séminaire ("Séminaire XVII - L'envers de la psychanalyse"). We can sometimes hear Lacan's dog called Justine because of Sade's heroin. Text in French | ||

Séminaires
| 18 mars 1970 | Séminaire XVII (1969-1970) "L'envers de la psychanalyse" | mp3 |
|
This Séminaire about the reverse of psychoanalysis is a kind of turning point in Lacan's teaching. First, that's the period where he formalizes his famous 4 discourses, writing and describing in that way 4 modes of social link. Then, the next 3 Séminaires are centered on developping the ideas of jouissance and non-existence of a sexual rapport with the help of formal logic. In this session, Lacan talks about the father's death as a condition of the jouissance for the subject ; that's what Oedipus myth or Freud's Totem and Taboo do illustrate. The real father is a structural operator and is the agent of the castration. | ||
| 8 avril 1970 | Séminaire XVII (1969-1970) "L'envers de la psychanalyse" | mp3 |
|
An original session in the Séminaire : Lacan introduces and reads to his audience 3 answers he wrote to a belgian journalist (who had originally asked 7 questions). Later, he recorded for the radio the whole 7 answers, what will become Radiophonie. | ||
| 12 janvier 1972 | Séminaire XIX (1971-1972) "... Ou pire" | mp3 |
|
A pseudo revolutionary man disturbs the beginning of this session. Lacan develops here some logical formulas that prove the non-existence of a sexual rapport (« there is no sexual rapport », i.e. between men and women, there is no rapport that can be formulated in the structure because an appropriate signifier is missing). This will be achieved the year after (Encore) in the sexuation formulas table. | ||
| 21 novembre 1972 | Séminaire XX (1972-1973) "Encore" | mp3 |
|
First session. « About jouissance ». Published in french as early as in 1975, Encore may be the most emblematic Lacan's Séminaire. First, plenty of ideas developped in it are significant and will renew psychoanlytic theory for years; then, Lacan's style reaches its highest point in the countless ways he distorts language and plays with it. During Encore, the final formalization of the non-existence of the sexual rapport (with the sexuation formulas table) and the full completion of jouissance's theory will progressively give way to what will become the topologic period of Lacan's teaching. In the end of Encore, he introduces his famous booromean knot on which he'll work during his last 8 years. The US edition is called The Seminar, Book XX : On feminine sexuality, the limits of love and knowledge : Encore. In this first session, Lacan speaks about love and jouissance. | ||
| 20 février 1973 | Séminaire XX (1972-1973) "Encore" | mp3 |
|
A central (and really beautiful) session in this central Séminaire. Lacan speaks about the specificity of the feminine jouissance and the mystical jouissance. In the published version, the chapter is called "Dieu et la jouissance de La Femme" ("God and the jouissance of The Woman »). extract : "And why not interpreting a face of the Other, the face of God, like supported by feminine jouissance". | ||
| 13 novembre 1973 | Séminaire XXI (1973-1974) "Les non-dupes errent" | mp3 |
|
The title of this Séminaire is a pun on the title of his Séminaire in 1963 (« Les Noms-du-Père ») which was stopped after a single session because Lacan had been banned from the IPA. In this session, Lacan explains the title and displays his borromean knot as the way to knot the 3 category registers of human reality : Real, Symbolic, Imaginary. Text in French | ||
| 20 novembre 1973 | Séminaire XXI (1973-1974) "Les non-dupes errent" | mp3 |
|
Lacan reads (sometimes in german) and comments on Freud's text about the occult. | ||
