Love That Does Not Hurt

Markus Zöchmeister

When the partner you are looking for is virtually found on a dating platform, this is initially not a partner of love choice but assigned by the algorithm of the machine, which acts as a guarantee for any replacement. This partner wears the colour of the machine, his loss is replaceable and therefore not a loss that makes a hole in the real.

L'amour, c'est l'angoisse !

VĂ©ronique Voruz

 

Pourquoi l’amour fait-il plus facilement dĂ©railler les femmes ? L’angoisse, SĂ©minaire qui rĂ©invente la psychanalyse Ă  partir du concept de l’objet a, apporte un Ă©clairage alors inĂ©dit sur cette question. Lacan y met en sĂ©rie d’étonnantes positions fĂ©minines Ă  l’égard du partenaire dit amoureux.

Painful Loves – Keren Ben-Hagai

“We see, then, that the phase of exclusive attachment to the mother, which may be called the pre-Oedipus phase, possesses a far greater importance in women than it can have in men. Many phenomena of female sexual life which were not properly understood before can be fully explained by reference to this phase. Long ago, for instance, we noticed that many women who have chosen their husband on the model of their father, or have put him in their father’s place, nevertheless repeat towards him, in their married life, their bad relations with their mother”.

Freud spoke of the pre-Oedipal stage, the stage in which the mother serves as the primary love object, as a time that is very difficult to grasp in analysis as if it “had succumbed to an especially inexorable repression.”(1) Unlike phallic jouissance, which is related to the signifier, the object, a baby from the father – can we think of this “inexorable” primary repression together with feminine jouissance?(2) The “other” jouissance that Lacan positioned outside the signifier, is connected with the lack in the Other, with love, and with infinity, and therefore not supported by fantasy. Lacking phallic barriers, the daughter and mother are without limit and lost: it's no coincidence that Freud said we can find there “the germ of later paranoia in women”.(3) Analysis that has on its horizon the delimitation of feminine jouissance can serve as a boundary to the ravage towards the mother, which, according to Freud, manifests in relationships with the husband.
