| |
| − | This volume is the transcript of the first year of [[Lacan]]'s world-famous [[seminar]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Taking as its theme the [[technique]] of [[psychoanalysis]], within the framework of [[Lacan]]'s "[[return to Freud]]", it includes elaboration of [[Lacan]]'s notions of the [[symbolic]], the [[imaginary]] and the [[real]], the importance of [[speech]] and [[language]] in [[psychoanalysis]] and the [[interpretation]] to be put on the [[mirror stage]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It also includes lengthy discussions of the [[clinic]]al and [[theory|theoretical work]] of contemporary [[psychoanalysts]] such as [[Michael Balint]] and [[Melanie Klein]], as well as [[St Augustine]] and [[Jean-Paul Sartre]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Together with [[Seminar II|Seminar II. The Ego in Freud's Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis, 1954-1955]]'', being published simultaneously, it undoubtedly forms the best point of departure for the English-speaking reader wishing to gain some acquaintance with the disturbing and profound thought of [[Jacques Lacan]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | This was [[Lacan]]'s first [[seminar]] at [[Sainte-Anne Hospital]] after the creation of the ''[[Société Française de Psychanalyse]]'' ([[SFP]]).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Lacan]]'s first [[seminar]] -- open to the public -- is held at soon after the establishment of the ''[[Société Française de Psychanalyse]]'' ([[SFP]]).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This [[seminar]] is explicitly addressed to analysts, as it concerns questions of psychoanalytic technique, those of [[resistance]], [[defence]], [[repression]] and [[transference]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It also contains his early formulation of the imaginary and his critique of the Object Relations School of psychoanalysis.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Lacan]] cuts in the study of [[Freud]] by dint of his theory on the [[imaginary]], the [[symbolic]] and the [[real]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The focal point of the discussion is the direction of the [[cure]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Through the case histories of Freud, Klein, Kris and Balint, the debate elucidates on the convergence of [[psychoanalysis]], [[philosophy]], [[theology]], [[linguistics]] and [[game theory]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In keeping with this heterogeneous approach, Lacan will further appeal to the [[science]] of [[optics]] to systematize his analyses of the specular relation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After his schema of the ''inverted bouquet'' the [[mirror stage]] becomes part of the topography of the [[Imaginary]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As to the ''[[méconnaissance]]'' that characterizes the [[ego]], it is associated with ''[[Verneinung]]'' (''dénégation''): "...everyday speech runs against failure of recognition, ''méconnaissance'', which is the source of ''Verneinung''."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He closes the seminar pondering on the role of the [[analyst]]: "...if the [[subject]] commits himself to searching after [[truth]] as such, it is because he places himself in the dimension of ignorance, what analysts call readiness to the [[transference]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The analyst's ignorance is also worth of consideration. He doesn't have to guide the subject to knowledge, but on to the paths by which access to this knowledge is gained. Psychoanalysis is a dialectics, an art of conversation."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In a spoken intervention (Appendix), Jean Hyppolite comments on Freud's ‘’Verneinung’’ and suggests its translation as ‘’dénégation’’ instead of ‘’négation’’.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The question here deals with how [[the return of the repressed]] operates.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | According to Freud the repressed is intellectually accepted by the subject, since it is named, and at the same time is negated because the subject refuses to recognize it as his, refuses to recognize him in it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ‘’Dénégation’’ includes an assertion whose status is difficult to define.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The frontier between [[neurosis]] and [[psychosis]] is drawn here, between [[repression]], ‘’Verdrägung’’, and repudiation, ‘’Verwerfung’’, a term that Lacan will replace by withdrawal, and finally by "[[foreclosure]]" (‘’forclusion’’), the former being related to neurosis, the latter to psychosis.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When answering Hyppolite in ‘’La Psychanalyse’’ that same year, Lacan establishes two poles of analytic experience: the [[imaginary]] [[ego]] and the [[symbolic]] [[speech]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Lacan gives precedence to the Symbolic over the Imaginary.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[subject]] who must come to be is "[[the subject of the unconscious]]" and "[[the unconscious is the discourse of the Other]]."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In analysis, he says, "the subject first talks about himself without talking to you, then he talks to you without talking about himself. When he is able to talk to you about himself, the analysis is over."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To this reshaping of the Imaginary by the Symbolic, he opposes the intersection of the Symbolic and the Real without mediation of the Imaginary, which would be the characteristic of psychosis.
