Clinical
Study Days 9
Must Do
It!  New Forms of
Demand in Subjective
Experience

Argument
and Call for Papers
(to be submitted by
January 31)

Much

is made today
of certain
psychic trends
or
so-called epidemics
in
society–the rise
of addiction,
or depression,
or autism, or
inattention,
and so forth
all

of which is
frequently
linked to
changes in
social
structure–a
culture of
permissiveness,
the decline of
the father or
authority
structures,
and the
excesses of
consumerism. 




There

is another no
less
prevalent, but
more subtle
dimension to
these psychic
changes–the
fact that
contemporary
subjects are
often not
striving,
desiring
pleasure, in
some sort of
uncomplicated
fashion, such
as the way in
which
happiness is
measured in
psychological
or
sociological
rating scales,
fulfilling the
Declaration’s
‘pursuit of
happiness.’
 Rather, that
we see the
subject driven
by sets of
imperatives,
demands
produced for
sure in the
social world,
but at the
same time and
ever yet more
insidiously
internalized
and reworked
as the demands
of what, in
older Freudian
language, was
referred to as
the superego.
Not a desire
for some thing
chosen by a
subject, but a
subject
incessantly
driven by a
force, a
jouissance,
out of
control,
without
limits.




For

this
conference, we
would like to
map out these
new forms of
the demand and
of the
superego in
the twenty
first century.
In what ways
are we seeing
the expression
of this in the
clinic? In the
ways in which
suffering is
articulated
today,
especially in
young people?
But, also, to
consider as
well the ways
in which the
demands of the
external
world–due to
changes in the
development of
capitalism and
in
science–are
experienced
differently by
subjects. The
role of
gadgets and
the
development of
the iHuman is
certainly one
dimension of
this, but we
should not
ignore other
dimensions of
the way in
which the
organization
of day to day
life–take
such disparate
phenomena as
social media
and
advertising,
or so-called
helicopter
parenting, the
novel
workplace life
of Silicon
Valley
companies,
increasing
income
inequality,
or, the 24/7
demands for
communication–are
having an
impact on the
subject.  



How

might the
experience of
Lacanian
psychoanalysis
allow a
subject to
find a way, a
compass point,
to orient
itself in such
a world.
