NLS – Knottings Seminar
WHAT CANNOT BE SAID: Desire, Fantasy, Real
On the real in contemporary practice
This event showcases the work of the members of the New Lacanian School around the theme of the forthcoming NLS-Congress in Ghent, Belgium 17-18 May 2014 – What Cannot Be Said. The objects of enjoyment in what cannot be said escape the narrative, but make themselves felt in bungled acts, in forgetting, in symptoms or as anxiety. The Lacanian practice is oriented towards the real in these phenomena, and towards separating the meaning effect from meaning.
Chair: Natalie Wulfing (NLS, UK)
With a theoretical paper by Nathalie Laceur (NLS, Belgium), NLS-Secretary and member of the NLS Executive Committee.
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.
