==Jacques Lacan==
===History===
====Early Lectures====
In 1951, [[Lacan]] began to give private lectures in [[Sylvia Bataille]]'s apartment at 3 rue de Lille. The lectures were attended by a small group of [[trainee]] [[psychoanalysts]], and were based on readings of some of [[Freud]]'s [[case histories]]: [[Dora]], the [[Rat Man]] and the [[Wolf Man]].
<!--
In 1953 Lacan began a fortnightly public seminar at Hôpital SainteAnne, the psychiatric hospital where he worked (for the previous two years he had given private weekly lectures in the apartment of Sylvia Bataille, then the wife of the philosopher and writer George Bataille (1897-1962) and shortly to become Lacan's second wife).
The seminar would continue for the next 26 years.
Each year he would take a text or concept from Freud and devote the seminar to the study of that text or idea.

<blockquote>"My intention here was to be as unobtrusive as possible and to obtain from Jacques Lacan's spoken work an authentic version that would stand, in the future, for the original, which does not exist."<ref>{{S11}} p. xi</ref></blockquote>
Since then, [[Miller]] has continued to bring out edited versions of other years of the [[seminar]], although the number published is still fewer than half. [[Miller]]'s role in editing and publishing the [[seminar]] has led to some very heated arguments, with opponents claiming he has distorted [[Lacan]]'s original. However, as [[Miller]] himself has pointed out, the transition from an oral to a written medium, and the editing required by this, means that these published versions of the [[seminar]] could never be simple transcripts of the lectures given by [[Lacan]].<ref>[[Jacques-Alain Miller|Miller, Jacques-Alain]]. ''Entretien sur le Séminaire, avec François Ansermet. [[Paris]]: Navarin, 1985</ref> So far only nine of the yearly [[seminar]]s have been published in book form, while authorised extracts from others have appeared in the journal [[Ornicar?]]. Unauthorised transcripts of the unpublished years of the [[seminar]] continue to circulate today, both in [[France]] and abroad.

Under the general editorship of Jacques Alain-Miller many of these seminars have now been reconstructed from notes and transcripts made by his former students, and a steadily increasing number have been translated.
