On [[Chronology|November 18, 1953]], [[Jacques Lacan|Lacan]] held his first public [[seminar]] at [[Sainte-Anne Hospital]] -- soon after the establishment of the ''[[Société Française de Psychanalyse]]'' ([[SFP]]).  It was addressed explicitly to fellow [[analyst]]s, as it concerned questions of [[psychoanalysis|psychoanalytic technique]] -- those of [[resistance]], [[transference]] and [[interpretation|therapeutic efficiency]] . The [[seminar]] 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]]. ----It also contains [[Jacques Lacan|Lacan]]'s early formulation of the [[imaginary]]. [[Jacques Lacan|Lacan]] develops his [[matheme|schema]] of the [[inverted bouquet]] (''[[Bouquet renversé]]''), as well as his concept of the [[mirror stage]], as part of the [[topology|topography]] of the [[Imaginary]]. He appeals to the [[science]] of [[optics]] to [[formalization|systematize]] his previous analyzes of the [[specular image|specular relation]]. He associates the "misconstruction" [''[[méconnaissance]]'') that characterizes the [[ego]] with [[negation]] (''[[dénégation]]''). -----==Back Cover==This volume is the transcript of the first year of [[Lacan]]'s world-famous [[seminar]].  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]]. =====Extra=====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.   ==See Also==[[Lacan's Metaphor of the Mirror Stage]]. {From Volume 1 of the Seminar: Freud's Papers on Technique) <http://wwwpersonal.bgsu.ecoleedu/~dcallen/mirror.html> == References ==French: (texte établi par Jacques-lacanienneAlain Miller), Paris: Seuil, 1975.netEnglish: ‘’’Book I: Freud's Papers on Technique’’’ (edited by Jacques-Alain Miller), New York: Norton, 1988. == See also ==‘’[[méconnaissance]]’’   {| class="wikitable" width="100%" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" align="left" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="line-height:2.0em; padding-left:30px; background:#ffffff; text-align:center;"|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="150px" style="padding-left:10px" | [[{{Y}}|Date]]| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="50px" style="padding-left:10px" | [[{{Y}}|PDF]]| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="50px" style="padding-left:10px" | [[{{Y}}|DOC]]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|18 novembre 1953]]| [http:/stenos/{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1953.11.18.pdflink]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/18nov53.doc link]| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="" style="padding-left:10px" | Ouverture du séminaire|-| colspan="4" style="text-align:center" | Le moment de la resistance|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|13 janvier 1954]]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.01.13.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/13janvier1954.doc link]| Introduction aux commentaries su les écrits techniques de Freud|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" |[[{{Y}}| 20 janvier 1954]]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.01.20.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/ link]| Premières interventions sur la question de la résistance|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|27 janvier 1954]]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.01.27.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/27janvier1954.doc link]| La résistance et les défenses|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|3 février 1954]]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.02.03.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/3fevrier1954.doc link]| Le moi et 'autre|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|10 février 1954]]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.02.10.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/10fevrier1954.doc link]| Introduction et réponses à un exposé de Jean Hyppolite sur la Verneinung de Freud|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|17 février 1954]]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.02.17.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/17fevrier1954.doc link]| Analyse du discours et analyse du moi|-| colspan="4" style="text-align:center" | La topique de l'imaginaire|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|24 février 1954]] | [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.02.24.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/24fevrier1954.doc link]| La topique de l'imaginaire|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | [[{{Y}}|10 mars 1954]]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/1954.03.10.pdf link]| [http://{{seminaires}}/seminaireI/10mars1954.doc link]| Le Loup!
