Cher M. Tassigny,
Nous sommes sensibles à vos efforts pour élargir nos vues étriquées sur la psychanalyse et donner enfin à notre pratique une véritable envergure moderne. Mais nous sommes plusieurs à penser que l'énergie que vous déployez serait mieux accueillie sur une autre liste de discussion. Pourriez-vous prendre cette demande en considération ?
Avec nos remerciements anticipés et cordiaux,

Aline Dubois-Dugrenot

> Ne prétendons plus à la neutralité, mais tenons compte de l'efficace
> psychanalytique et de sa résistance, de ses spéculations et stratagèmes,
> interpellons de façon critique, ouvrons des brèches : c'est oeuvrer à la
> psychanalyse .
> 
> Faut-il encore soumettre le discours psychanalytique à la rigueur de la
> preuve, aux chaînes de la conséquence, aux contraintes internes du
> collectif ? Faut-il toujours articuler, et, surtout, ne plus ignorer ce que
> certains voudraient laisser tomber ou réduire sous les dogmes de diverses
> chapelles ? Faut-il enfin déterminer la spécificité de l'après-coup
> psychanalytique et de ce qu'elle arraisonne ?
> 
> Que propose-t-on à la psychanalyse alors que nous vivons dans un espace
> pluridisciplinaire, global où toutes les valeurs préfabriquées normalisent
> banalisent l'être ? Où des revues, articles, de tout poil, semblent, plus

> de fadeur, lorsque rivalisant de diagrammes abscons, ils font la statistique
> de leur propre médiocrité telle un "semblant" juste bon à décomposer,
> fragmenter, un tout qui ne sera donc jamais compris exhaustivement.
> 
> Jamais l'enseignement de la psychanalyse n'a fait de la psychanalyse une
> recherche "limitée corporativement en en une weltanschaung réservée aux
> seuls initiés". Initiés de l'héritage freudien, lacanien, etc.
> 
> Tous les membres du collectif, responsables, intervenants, contribuent à
> élever la psychanalyse en un espace spéculatif, telle une recherche
> fondamentale. On n'y apprend ni des systèmes, ni des cultes, on y reçoit un
> éveil de la pensée dépassant les limites de la psychanalyse pure pour se
> tourner vers l'ethnologie à l'exemple de Frazer ou de Malinowski et dans ce
> pluralisme se dégagent des idées non-dirigistes, des non-certitudes en
> quelque sorte.
> 
> Jamais cette recherche ne prendra matrice dans une quelconque corporation,
> guilde, défendant ses droits et privilèges plutôt que la pertinence de ses
> doutes. Cet enseignement ne se développera pas à l'encontre d'autres écoles.
> Telle serait la seule façon de renouer avec la pensée freudienne. Renouer
> avec ces passeurs ne consiste pas à enseigner la psychanalyse, ni même à
> prétendre à réinventer la psychanalyse, mais à penser, réfléchir, à un
> élément même irrationnel au collectif, quitte à déconstruire pour ensuite
> mieux rebâtir, ce qui est vrai pour un est différent pour l'autre.
> 
> Bien sûr, c'est l'étude des textes qui sera la pierre angulaire du "Comment

> Que proposera-t-on à ces enseignants ? Avant tout une méthode car cet

> 
> Le professeur de psychanalyse commencera la lecture d'une oeuvre freudienne.
> Mais renouer avec l'héritage freudien ne reviendra pas à se prendre soi-même
