CONGRESS SPECIAL N°4

 

SUNDAY 21 MAY

 

 

FOUR CURRENT FORMS OF DISCONTENT

 

 

2 – THE BODY

Chaired and facilitated by Dominique Holvoet

 

Man has a body and he has just the one

Man speaks – the body enjoys

 

It is truly the encounter of a sewing machine and an umbrella on an operating table. 

(cf  Lautréamont, The Songs of Maldoror)

 

Lacan says it better and opens new paths:

 

« LOM, LOM de base, LOM cahun corps et nan-na Kun.

 Faut le dire comme ça : il ahun… et non : il estun… (cor/niché).

 C’est l’avoir et pas l’être qui le caractérise.

 Il y a de l’avoiement dans le qu’as-tu ? dont il s’interroge fictivement d’avoir la réponse toujours.

 J’ai ça, c’est son seul être. »*


It struggles along and once in a while it gets sung.

For how can one know where jouissance holes up?

First by constructing fictions and when it bites: ouch! I've got it…; or the other way around

“That”: the body and also the event


Three presentations about this discordance and its symptoms will be given and discussed

On June 21, 1964 Jacques Lacan founded his School of Psychoanalysis with the aim of assuring the formation of psychoanalysts, the transmission of psychoanalysis, and the re-conquering of the Freudian Field. The New Lacanian School (NLS), created in 2003 by Jacques-Alain Miller, is one of seven Schools founded within the framework of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP). The NLS is a member of the EuroFederation of Psychoanalysis (EFP) that regroups the four European Schools of psychoanalysis oriented by Freud and Lacan’s teachings.
