Celebrities are attracted to his seminars (Hyppolite's analysis of Freud's article on Dé[[négation]], given during the first seminar, is a well-known example). Koyré on [[Plato]], Lévi-Strauss, [[Merleau-ponty|Merleau-Ponty]], Griaule, the ethnologist, Benvéniste among others attend his courses.

<!-- * In his ''Ethics'' Lacan defines the [[true]] [[ethical]] foundations of psychoanalysis and constructs an ethics for our time, an ethics that would prove to be equal to the [[tragedy]] of modern man and to the "discontent of [[civilization]]" (Freud). At the roots of the ethics is [[desire]]: analysis' only promise is austere, it is the entrance-into-the-I, ''l'entrée-en-Je''. "I must come to the place where [[The Id|the id ]] was," where the analysand discovers, in its absolute nakedness, the [[truth]] of his desire. The end of psychoanalysis entails "the purification of desire." This text functions throughout the years as the background of Lacan's work. -->

* In January Lacan moves his public seminar to the École Normale Supérieure, and in June he founds his own organisation, the École Freudienne de Paris (EFP).
* Lacanians [[form]] a Study Group on Psychoanalysis organized by Jean Clavreul, until Lacan officially founds L'Ecole Française de Psychanalyse. Soon it becomes L'[[Ecole freudienne de paris|Ecole Freudienne de Paris ]] (E.F.P.). "I hereby found the Ecole Française de Psychanalyse, by myself, as alone as I have ever been in my relation to the psychoanalytic [[cause]]." The E.F.P. is organized on the basis of three sections: pure psychoanalysis (doctrine, training and supervision), applied psychoanalysis (the [[cure]], casuistics, psychiatric information), and the Freudian field (commentaries on the psychoanalytic movement, articulation with related [[sciences]], [[ethics of psychoanalysis]]).
With Lévi-Strauss and [[Althusser]]'s support, he is appointed lecturer at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes. He begins his new seminar on "[[The four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis|The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis]]" in January in the Dussane room at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (in his first session he thanks the generosity of Fernand [[Braudel]] and [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]]).

* After extensive [[legal]] proceedings, Judith adopts the name of her father.
* January Lacan starts a seminar on the foundations of psychoanalysis at the Ecole Normale Supérieure (Rue d’Ulm, Paris), where he lectures under the auspices of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, a post for which Claude Lévi-Strauss and [[Louis Althusser]] have intervened on his behalf.
* January Lacan starts his seminar at the Ecole normale supérieure, rue d'Ulm, under the administrative control of the Ecole pratique des hautesétudes. Claude Lévi-Strauss and Louis Althusser have intervened on his behalf to secure the room. This seminar, devoted to the Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis, finds a broader and more [[philosophical]] audience.
* June Lacan founds the Ecole française de psychanalyse. His “Act of foundation” dramatizes his sense of heroic solitude (“I hereby found – as alone as I have always been in my relation to the psychoanalytic cause – the Ecole française de psychanalyse, whose direction, concerning which [[nothing]] at present prevents me from answering for, I shall undertake during the next four years to assure”). Three months later it changes its name to the [[Ecole freudienne]] de Paris. Lacan launches a new associative [[model]] for his school; study groups called “[[cartels]], ” made up of four or five people, are constituted, including one person who reports on the [[progress]] of the group.
* June 21 - [[Jacques lacan|Jacques Lacan ]] founds theÉcole Française de Psychanalyse (French School of Psychoanalysis), which will be renamedÉcole freudienne de Paris ([[Freudian School of Paris]]) in September 1964

<!-- * In his seminar ''[[L'envers de la psychanalyse]]'' Lacan establishes the four [[discourses]]: [[Master]]'s, university's, [[hysteric]]'s and the [[analyst's discourse]]. He discusses the Father of ''[[Totem]] and [[Taboo]]'' who is all love (or ''jouissance'') and whose [[murder]] generates the love of the [[dead]] Father, a [[figure]] to whom he opposes both the Father presiding over the first [[idealization]] and the Father who enters the [[discourse of the Master]] and who is [[castrated]] from the origin. "The death of the father is the key to supreme ''jouissance'', later [[identified]] with the mother as the aim to [[incest]]." Yet psychoanalysis is not constructed on the proposition'to [[sleep]] with the mother' but on the death of the father as [[primal]] jouissance. The real father is not the [[biological]] one but he who upholds "the Real as impossible." In "[[Radiophonie]]," ''Scilicet2/3'', Lacan argues that "if language is the condition of the unconscious, the unconscious is the condition of linguistics." Freud anticipated [[Saussure]] and the Prague Circle by sticking to [[The Letter|the letter ]] of the patient's [[word]], to [[jokes]], to slips, by bringing into light the importance of condensation and displacement in the production of [[dreams]]. The unconscious states that "the subject is not the one who [[knows]] what he says." Whoever articulates the unconscious must say that it is either that or nothing. -->

* '''September'''
<!-- * On January 9, Lacan announces the dissolution of the EFP in a letter addressed to members and published in ''Le Monde''. He asks those who [[wish]] to continue [[working]] with him to state their intentions in writing. He receives over one thousand letters within a week. On February 21, Lacan announces the founding of "''[[La Cause freudienne]]''." In July he attends an international conference in Caracas. "I have come here before launching my ''Cause freudienne''. It is up to you to be Lacanians if you wish; I am Freudian." * January Lacan dissolves the Ecole freudienne de Paris by a “Letter of Dissolution” mailed to all members and dated 5 January 1980. It presents Lacan as a “[[père]] sévère” (strict father) who can “persévérer” (persevere) alone. All the members of the school are invited to write a letter directly to him if they want to follow him in the creation of a new institution. He mentions the price Freud has “had to pay for having permitted the psychoanalytic group to win over discourse, becoming a church” (T, p. 130). The Cause freudienne is created. -->
