1980- SEMINAIRE DISSOLUTION (DISSOLUTION SEMINAR)-1980 On January 5, 1980, Lacan wrote a letter in which he proclaimed the disso�lution of the E.F.P. He sent it to the members of his ecole and also to the daily newspaper Le Monde, so that it could be made public. At the same time, he invited those who wanted to "go on with Lacan" to "join together once again." Lacan would sort out the requests for the new ecole to come. Ambig�uously, he seemed to want to leave ("in order to be Other at last" and so that "the Other is missing") and he was already planning a new organization. The criteria was clear: "I don't need many. And there are many whom I don't need." It was in fact to a single person, "the only one who knows how to read me," that Lacan wanted to bequeath the institution as a property that he owned. However, the small group rapidly became "the one thousand of ii. Since the early Fall 1978 Lacan's health had been deteriorating.

In 1980-1981, the atmosphere was, therefore, tense and the situation was explosive in Lacanian circles, doomed to demand, hatred, and rivalry. At the same time, in his seminar, Lacan commented on his own positions: Delenda est [Carthago] (Carthage, which threatened Rome, had to be de�stroyed, and an entire program was sketched here). He dictated his orders, he reminded the audience of the mourning to be done, he presented himself as "Monsieur Aa antiphi/osophe" (in a free association of ideas with a title by Tzara, at the time of Dada), he prophesied: "Let there be light!", he attacked, and he ended with "Le Malentendu" (The Misunderstanding/Mis-heard)�"L'homme nait malentendu" ("Man is born misunderstood/mis-heard"). Meanwhile, conflicts burst out.
Dissolution
Because Lacan was old and ill, seminar 27 was not delivered publicly but only published. It dealt with the dissolution of his school,École freudienne de Paris (Freudian School of Paris).
