Towards Athens – Call for papers: Deadline March 31st

Reference texts for the Congress are:

– The presentation of the theme by Eric Laurent entitled "Psychosis or radical belief in the symptom"

– The argument which develops the title "The Psychotic Subject in the Geek Era. Typicality and Symptomatic Inventions"

– The short bibliography for the Congress. You will find all of them on the NLS website.

The main axis focuses on questioning the category of psychosis in the 21st century, in its displacement towards the autistic paradigm as the root of the speaking being's defense against the impact of language on the body.

With its emphasis on the Geek, the argument invites you to consider a new logic of the living [du vivant]. What was still of the order of the gadget in the last century has become, with the screens, a true complementary organ, lively bodily prolongation which the speaking being cannot do without.

The papers may therefore support this new orientation of a continuist clinic which is no longer solely articulated through the paternal paradigm, but also through the claim for particular life-styles stemming from desires to be transcribed into laws.

–          From the man-machine to the object outside-the-body

–          The noise of lalangue and the ways of knotting RSI

–          Screens as "new privileged forms of the Other» (E.L.)

–          The psychotic subject as he who believes the most in the meaning of his symptom

–          Offensive and attractive categories: claim and rejection

–          Autism as belvedere of the clinic

–          Support on established discourses and psychotic invention?

–          The jouissance of the One-all-alone… and the Other

–          Use of symptomatic inventions in practice

–          Life-style and normalisation of the symptom

Scientific Committee

The Scientific Committee is not disjoint from the Congress Organising Committee. Just like this team has prepared the logistic details, it will take part in the selection of papers. The Committee will review all texts sent and will contact the author to help refine the text if necessary. It is therefore important that each author submits his or her text in French or English and that the deadline is respected so hat this preliminary work can be carried out.

LILIA MAHJOUB

The undersigned, concerned not to interfere in Tunisian political
life, but unconditional defenders of the freedom of expression in
Tunisia as in all countries, demand the Tunisian authorities to abandon
their investigation of psychoanalyst RAJA BEN SLAMA for a crime of
opinion. They require that the warrant that was issued against her
yesterday, Thursday 21 February, be cancelled rapidly.

They will be attentive to the guarantees that protect Human Rights in Tunisia following the “Arab Spring”.
