Changes

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.

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".
