Changes

* The issue of the [[passe ]] keeps invading the E.F.P.'s life. "Le quatrième groupe" is formed around those who resign from the E.F.P. disputing over Lacan's methods for the analysts' training and accreditation. Lacan takes a stand in the crisis of the university that follows May 1968: "If psychoanalysis cannot be articulated as a knowledge and taught as such, it has no place in the university, where it is only a matter of knowledge." The E.N.S. director, Flacelière, finds an excuse to tell Lacan that he is no longer welcome at the E.N.S. at the beginning of the academic year. Moreover, ''Cahiers pour l'Analyse'' has to stop its publication, but Vincennes appears as an alternative. Michel Foucault asks [[Lacan ]] to create and direct at Vincennes the Department of Psychoanalysis. Lacan suggests that S. Leclaire, rather than himself, should undertake the project. Classes start in January. Thanks to Lévi-Strauss Lacan moves his seminars to the law school at the [[Panthéon]].* ''[[Seminar XVI|Le séminaire, Livre XVI: D'un Autre à l'autre]]'', unpublished. In there Lacan argues that "the Name-of-the-Father is a rift that remains wide open in my discourse, it is only known through an act of faith: there is no incarnation in the place of the Other."* '''January ''':lectures in the Department of Psychoanalysis commence.* '''March ''':the introduction of the pass provokes a schism within the [[EFP]], leading to the creation of the [[Organisation Psychanalytique de Langue Française ]] ([[OPLF]]).* '''November ''':[[Lacan ]] moves his seminar to the Faculté de Droit (Place du Panthéon) in Paris.* '''March ''':The introduction of the practice of the “pass” “[[pass]]” as a sort of final examination provokes a rebellion at the [[Ecole freudienne de Paris ]] and a splinter group is created by Lacanian “barons” such as François Périer and Piera Aulagnier. * '''November ''':Having been forced to leave the Ecole normale supérieure, [[Lacan ]] now holds his weekly seminar at the law faculty on the place du Panthéon. It draws even bigger crowds.
