The Simultaneous of PIPOL 10

How to get into the theme in order to write a text?

Does the theme of PIPOL 10, "Wanting a Child? Desire for Family and Clinic of Filiations" involve a precipitous approach to writing a text for the PIPOL 10 Simultaneous? Colloquially, we hear from colleagues who have thought of a case but wonder if it fits the theme.

Fortunately, the theme is very broad. First of all, it's not limited to "wanting a child", but it also concerns "the family", with the multitude of modifications it has undergone over the last few decades and with it questions of "filiations", which are taking on an unheralded degree of complexity.

Moreover, far from being restricted to the area of scientific interventions in reproductive matters via assisted reproductive technology (ART) and surrogacy, this theme offers multiple possible entry points in order to approach the clinic. Here are some of those, in a far from exhaustive series:

The desired child, the child as object a, the child as symptom, the adopted child, the child and love, the unwanted child, the refusal of a child, the denial of pregnancies, the abandoned child, infanticide, impossible procreation, a child at any price, the child of science, the choice of sex, predicting the child, the commerce of conception, the child and ethics committees, the freezing of time, wanting to be a parent, being a father, being a mother, the mother and the woman, procreation and sexuality, birth and death, the family romance, the large family, the institutional family, the fragmented family, the blended family, the family and tradition, the family and the law, kinship relations, filiation and transmission, new alliances,…

It is more than likely that one or other of these signifiers will resonate with the practice of each one, or indeed, cause others to resonate.

The Simultaneous of PIPOL 10

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

Since the beginning of the PIPOL Congresses, work on the Saturday has always been devoted to the Clinic. It is a moment that many look forward to, because it allows for an encounter and exchange between practitioners who come from the four corners of Europe, from Portugal to Siberia, from Ireland to Bulgaria, without forgetting the more distant regions like Israel, Australia, the United States, Canada and Reunion Island.

These practitioners inscribe their work in the multiple networks of the Freudian Field, a vast ensemble comprising of: the Schools of Psychoanalysis which constitute the EuroFederation of Psychoanalysis, as well as the Regional Associations attached to the various Schools; the FIPA (Federation of Institutions of Applied Psychoanalysis) with in particular the CPCT (Psychoanalytic Centres for Consultations and Treatments); the Institute of the Child, bringing together the New Cereda Network (psychoanalysis with children), Cien (Interdisciplinary Centre on the Child) and RI3 (Network of Childhood Institutions); TyA (Drug addiction and Alcoholism); the CERA (Centre for Study and Research on Autism); UFORCA with its clinical sections.

Whether working in an office, in a consultation centre, in a care institution or in any other place, speech is the foundation of their practice. Beyond the diverse horizons, what brings them together is the common language of psychoanalysis of Lacanian orientation.

The Simultaneous Sessions of PIPOL 10 will consist of 120 clinical cases presented throughout the day, simultaneously in 10 rooms, bi- or trilingual (English, Spanish, French, Italian).

If you want to be part of it, now is the time!

"Wanting a Child? Desire for Family and Clinic of Filiations" is a theme that, like it or not, concerns everyone. Any speaking out on the subject involves this irreducible "residue" that the family has become. The clinic abounds with how each one is subsumed by the questions they raise. And the manner in which science grasps "wanting a child", to the contrary, by touching the real, does not reduce these questions.

The Sections and subsections that structure the PIPOL 10 blog, while not exhaustive, are indicative of one or the other aspect of the theme which may facilitate an elaboration and a  writing of a case. On the PIPOL 10 blog (www.pipol10.eu) you can find orienting texts for each Section. Here’s a reminder.

1. Sexuality: Procreation outside of sex – Sexuality outside of procreation – Pregnancy dream or denial

2. Love: Child substitute – Adopted child – (non) Desired child

3. Time: Death and birth – Time freeze – Clinic of the origins

4. Name-of-the-Father?: Fragmented families – New filiations – Family fictions

5. Disruption: No kids – Certissima/uncertus? – Gender issues

6. Science: Anonymous gametes – Predict the child – New desire, new right

You have until midnight on Saturday the 10th of April to submit your text to the following address: poblome.guy@gmail.com

It can be sent to us in one of the following: French, English, Italian or Spanish.

In order that your Case is considered, please follow these instructions:

– Maximum 7500 characters including spaces

– Word format, Arial 12 font, 1.5 line spacing

– File name: NAME-LANGUAGE (for example: DURANT-FRANÇAIS)

– At the top of the first page, centred: Title of the text; on the next line: your Surname and First name, and the Region where you work.

PIPOL 10 – The Bibliography

"There is nothing to prevent motherhood from being the way in which a woman assumes her castration," [cautions Jacques-Alain Miller]. Nothing forbids it because there is love – Lacanian love. The mother is not only the one who has. She has to be […] the one who does not have ”. What a long way our orientation has come from the Freudian hypothesis of becoming a mother, which made the presence of the child equivalent to the penis in a game of substitution, and whose emergence deprived the subject of access to its own lack, the key piece of the economy of desire.

And it is this momentum that this bibliography wishes to echo. You will see, as you go through it, that it is not bogged down in the shortcomings of cancel culture, but retraces, often chronologically, the discoveries and  the trials and tribulations of a research that over time touches on the real of sex and that of death of discourses and scientific discoveries. A research carried by the language of analysands, which leads us from the questions formulated for example to Freud by Mme X, caught in the grip of an abortion which sheared not only her body but also her thought, to the contemporary  arrangements between desire and technology, delicately put into words by François Ansermet.  

This collection also follows the trajectory of psychoanalysis by making the languages of the EuroFederation resonate at a time when borders are reappearing. This polyphony makes us feel, in body, the richness and the necessity of a circulation between territories and particularities.

PIPOL 10 – La bibliographie   « Rien n’interdit que la maternité soit pour une femme la voie où se réalise l’assomption de sa castration, prévient Jacques-Alain Miller. Rien ne l’interdit car il y a l’amour – l’amour lacanien. La mère n’est pas seulement celle qui a. Elle a à être […] celle qui n’a pas  ». Quel chemin ici parcouru à l’endroit du devenir mère par notre orientation depuis l’hypothèse freudienne qui faisait équivaloir, dans un jeu de substitution, la présence de l’enfant au pénis, et dont le surgissement venait priver le sujet de l’accès à son propre manque, pièce maitresse de l’économie désirante. Et c’est de cet élan que cette bibliographie souhaite se faire l’écho. Vous verrez en la traversant que sa réalisation ne s’est pas embourbée dans les travers de la cancel culture mais retrace, souvent chronologiquement, les trouvailles ou les tâtonnements d’une recherche qui touche au réel du sexe et à celui de la mort, au fil du temps, des discours et des découvertes scientifiques. Une recherche portée par la langue des analysants qui nous conduit donc des questions formulées par exemple à Freud par Mme X, prise dans les rets d’un avortement qui cisaille non seulement son corps mais aussi sa pensée, aux montages contemporains entre désir et technique, délicatement mis en mots par François Ansermet.   Ce recueil épouse également la trajectoire de la psychanalyse en faisant résonner les langues de l’EuroFédération à l’heure où des frontières réapparaissent. Cette polyphonie nous fait toucher du doigt, en corps, la richesse et la nécessité d’une circulation entre les territoires et les particularités.   Thomas Roïc Pour la PIPOL Team   Pour obtenir la bibliographie cliquez ici   Abonnez-vous à OMBILIC, la Newsletter de Pipol 10 Cliquez ici S'INSCRIRE AU CONGRÈS Vers le Blog de PIPOL 10
