THE BLOG TOWARDS THE NLS CONGRESS / BLOG POUR LE CONGRÈS 2014 DE LA NLS n°4
The ninth contribution for the Blog of the next NLS Congress in Ghent on 17 and 18 May 2014, brings you the English translation of a very interesting text by Francisco-Hugo Freda. F.-H. Freda poses the hypothesis of a relation between the knotting of the three registers, as elaborated later by Lacan through the Borromean knot, and the crossing of the fantasy.

The Ordinary General Assembly of the World Association of Psychoanalysis, convened
according to the Statutes by its President, Leonardo Gorostiza, was
held in Paris on Friday 18 April 2014, from 9am to 12pm and from 2pm to
6.30pm.
During this General Assembly and having arrived after four years at
the end of their term, seven councilors left the Administration Council and seven new councilors were elected by the "Fondation du Champ Freudien"
Association.
It was determined that there were 683 members of the Association present or properly represented (614 members present and 69
represented by proxy).
Development of the Assembly
From 9.00am to 12:00pm:
According to schedule, the Assembly began with speeches by the
Presidents of each of the Schools of the WAP and by Judith Miller, President of
the Foundation of the Freudian Field.
Under the heading The Lacanian Action in the Schools and in the Freudian Field,
eight presentations were heard, which highlighted the relevance of
the Lacanian Action in the world, its strength and its dynamism.
Then, the Treasurer of the WAP, Dominique Miller, presented the Treasurer's Report and
underlined the administration's salient points, the results of the accounts
for the financial period 2013 and the orientation of the financial
politics of the WAP for the realisation of its associative purposes.
At the beginning of the General Assembly each of the
members present received a dossier consisting of a summary of the
Financial Statements for 2013 and the Budget previewed for 2014.
Both the Treasurer's Report and the Accounts 2013 and Budget 2014,

Scilicet – A Real for the
21st Century
Towards the 9th Congress
of the World Association of Psychoanalysis
In the 21st century,
we note a great disorder in the real. Two discourses are shaking our
traditions. The discourse of science touches on the real of sex, procreation,
death, impacting the social bond and disrupting the world. And the discourse of
capitalism leaves us destitute in the face of the imperatives of free
competition and addictive gadgets. The real no longer responds to the “laws of
nature”, guarantee of yesteryear. Can we rely on the binary capitalism-science
to control it?
Capitalism and science would claim to reduce
the real to relations of cause and effect. Yet the real always surprises us –
there is no sense there, and its effects mark each one of us. Where can we find
direction to deal with the lawless real of our times? Psychoanalysts
continually examine and renew their practice in light of this question. This
volume of Scilicet brings clarity to
this challenge with 136 concise texts in alphabetical order, inviting the
reader to chance encounters… Anxiety, Bioethics, Clinic, Deciphering…
Faced with the drift engendered by the
tide of the dominant discourses, Lacanian psychoanalysis sets the course to
find new knottings with the real.
@scilitwitt
Just like tweets: super-short texts that cut to the
quick of postmodern issues. Our “scilitwitts”
are thus born in this Scilicet.

A UNIQUE MOMENT NOT TO BE MISSED
AT THE NLS CONGRESS IN GHENT (17-18 MAY 2014)
ÉRIC LAURENT
meets
TOM LANOYE
Link to register for the NLS Congress
Tom Lanoye (born 1958) is Flanders’s
most famous, notorious, and heterogeneous writer. He lives in both Antwerp (Belgium) and Cape Town (South Africa).
He is a poet, columnist, playwright,
novelist, performer, and polemicist. He has mastered all aspects of writing
with an unparalleled virtuosity, and for decades he has been a voice that
cannot be ignored in Belgium,
the Netherlands,
and beyond. He has received many literary awards, and in 2013 his complete
works were awarded with the prestigious Constantijn Huygens’ Prize.
Flanders got to know this jack-off-all-trades in 1983 with his debut novel Slagerszoon
met een brilletje (Butcher’s son with
glasses). Then followed Alles moet weg (Everything must go) and Kartonnen dozen (Cardboard boxes). In Het goddelijke
monster (The divine monster),
Zwarte tranen (Black tears), and
Boze Tongen (Angry tongues) he
skewers in an inimitable way the decline of Belgium owing to the ruthless
businessmen and politicians in a changing Europe.
This trilogy was recently produced for national television. Het derde
huwelijk (The third marriage) casts
a harsh light on multicultural Flanders and
the migration politics of ‘Fort
Europe’. In Gelukkige
Slaven (Happy slaves) he takes
aim at—among other things—the recent banking crisis. In the extremely personal Sprakeloos
(Speechless)
he describes the death of his mother who, after a stroke, suffered from aphasia,
the worst nightmare for a writer. In the meantime, he also published Heldere
Hemel (Clear sky), the Dutch
‘Bookweekgift’ of which 833,000 copies are printed; he is only the fourth
Fleming to have this honour. http://www.lanoye.be/tom/translations
As
playwright he wrote Ten Oorlog (To
War), an eleven-hour epic adaption of Shakespeare’s histories. He inscribed
Risjaar Modderfokker den Derden (Richard Motherfucker the third) into the
collective memory of Flanders. Then followed Mama
Medea (Mama Medea),
Mefisto for ever (Mephisto forever),
Atropa, De Russen (The
Russians), Bloed en Rozen (Blood
and Roses), and his own interpretation of Shakespeare, Mann, Euripides, Chechov, and so on. In March 2014 his Hamlet vs. Hamlet
premiered in Amsterdam. Lanoye’s Hamlet was a collaboration between
Toneelhuis (Antwerpen) and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. He is an esteemed guest at
the Avignon theatre festival. ‘Bloed en
Rozen’ (‘Blood and roses’) was performed in 2011 at the cour d’Honneur!
He is also a
gifted performer. With Sprakeloos op de planken (Speechless on stage) he toured in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Paris. A couple of years
earlier he went wild in a show the title of which honoured him: Woest (Ferocious). As the first city poet of Antwerp he set the tone. His
undeniable presence reached all the way to the Boerentoren (a building in Antwerp), where he hung a
love poem to the Cathedral of our Lady (see picture below).
In 1996 Tom
Lanoye and his partner René Los signed the
first cohabitation agreement for a gay couple in Belgium. This received a
lot of attention in the press in Belgium and abroad, and it paved the way for
same-sex marriage in Belgium. It is an example of his never ceasing progressive
engagement. In essays, pamphlets, and television performances he passionately
and with a mastery of language battles against all sacred cows. For gay marriage, for an abortion law,
against the advance of nationalism, against racism… In 2000 he was a one-time
candidate for Agalev (the Green Party) in his battle against the Vlaams Blok (an
extreme right-wing party that was very successful at that time).

CONGRESS / BLOG POUR LE CONGRÈS 2014 DE LA NLS n°7
The seventh contribution for the Blog of the forthcoming NLS Congress in Ghent, on 17th and 18th May 2014, is a paper by Hara Pepeli. She takes the poster of the Congress as her starting point, and goes to interrogate the impossible to say, its relation to desire and to action, and what can be "re-appropriated
by the subject in the act of saying".
