#65 Perversion #1

The term perversion, which is a Freudian concept, invades the social body. Perverse practices are as old as the world, But it is relatively recent that this term formalized at the end of the nineteenth century, be used. Also the one who undergoes perversion most often reaches the term of “amazement”. Pierre Belon takes up the history of this concept, and then Jacques Siboni evokes relations between perversion, amazement, desire, law and enjoyment.

#61 The Academic Subject and the Lacanian Subject

Pierre Belon begins where primary school teaches the notion of subject. It conveys to us how this concept crosses various semantics. This up to what Freud and Lacan taught us. In particular by this matheme “The signifier is what represents a subject for another signifier.”

#60 The Incest Barrier

“The incest barrier protects and nourishes desire”. This particularly enlightening assertion was made by Serge Leclaire on Wednesday 27 January 1965 during the first closed seminar of Dr.. Jacques Lacan whose theme of the year was the crucial problems for psychoanalysis.

During this workshop we will try with the help of Pierre Belon to analyze what this sentence conveys to us.

#59 And what about the subject for Lacan?

As a follow-up to the workshop #58 devoted to the concept of subject for Hegel, here are elements of the Lacanian conception of the subject. However, as this theme is too ambitious to fit in less than two hours, three or four relationships remained in the shadows.

Once a month a Lacanian topological clinic workshop is held.

The sessions of the topology workshop on the site Lutecium

#01 La structure syntaxique Syntax doesn't lie
#02 Relation signifiant / signifié dans le lapsus The bar is a Moebius strip
#03 Articulation et inadéquation entre demande et désir #1: Le graphe “Do not ask for your way to the one who knows it, you might not get lost.”
#04 Articulation et inadéquation entre demande et désir #2: Un enlacement “I demand you to reject what I am offering to you, because it is not that”
#05 Topologie de la pulsion How do unite and separate subject and desire. The libido is just like bubble gum
#06 Réel, Symbolique, Imaginaire The three dimensions of speech. These dimensions are also dits-mansions where the object comes to nestle
#07 Angoisse, Inhibition, Symptôme The journey from anxiety to symptom. How the symptom and its secondary benefit coexist
#08 Le Sinthome The construction of sublimation by the sinthome
#09 Le Transfert au cours et décours de l’analyse. A sequel to the sinthome by Gérard Crovisier and a disappointing recording on transference and the desire of the analyst
#10 La Passe ou Les Passes? The Pass is not limited to an institutional procedure; with the participation of Fanny Jeandel
#11 Psychanalyse, passe, en intension, en extension. The pass in intension or in extension, psychoanalysis in intension or in extension, What is it when Lacan uses these terms? It seems he uses these adjectives in a distant sense of those they have in logic
#12 Le plan projectif The projective plan has been used widely by Jacques Lacan, mainly in its cross-cap presentation. What is a projective plane? Is the cross-cap the most relevant way to account for the human psyche?
#13 D’un objet de la réalité à un objet de désir. What is the proximity between the objects that our senses perceive and the conscience that we have on them? If it is very minute, then part of our objects of desire is hallucinatory.
#14 Réalité et hallucination dans psychose. The transformation of an object of reality into an object of desire is substantially transformed when a fundamental signifier is foreclosed. The object of reality is then transformed into hallucination.
#15 L’objet phallus et celui qui le possède. The phallus, object so different from the penis, has among other particularity, of only being able to be possessed by one at any given time. What does it confer to the possessor and to the one who is lacking?
#16 Degrés de liberté dans les actes du sujet. We talk about choice and free will; J. Lacan showed, by mathematical examples that the choices of the present are constrained by the past of the subject.
#17 Automates et automatisme de répétition. How is repetition automatism a particular form of automaton? This is an attempted answer, (not very satisfactory for my taste). An example is given from a song taken from the album “Mechanical Music” by Carla Bley.
#18 Sinthome et rapport sexuel chez Joyce. The sinthome, this process of sublimation described by Lacan, takes a very special form in James Joyce. This crystallizes in an unusual relationship with the other sex, a form of folie à deux.
#19 Les Quatre Discours. Discourse of the master, of the hysteric, of the University, and the analyst; these 4 modalities of discourse structure our intersubjectivity. A frequent drift in the analyst's discourse pushes him towards discourse of the university.
#20 La logique du fantasme #1: Les négations ou “Va, je ne te hais point” The logic of fantasy, very dense and complex seminar Jacques Lacan. We approach a first part which describes four varieties of negations used by the subject in his relations with his objects of desire..
#21 La logique du fantasme #2: Le groupe de Klein ou “Ou bien pas-je pense, ou bien pas-je suis”. The logic of fantasy. What is the use made by Lacan of the Klein Group? Especially the connections with repetition, the passage to the act, acting out and sublimation.
#22 La logique du fantasme #3: Le nombre d’or The golden proportion and its Lacanian interpretation, Aristotelian categories, and the use of science by psychoanalysis.
#23 La logique du fantasme #4: Le premier Autre c’est le corps réel. Then it is pierced by a signifier which inscribes its indelible mark on it.
#24 Le Polygone Fondamental. The fundamental polygon allows to display in a rectangle structures such as sphere, the ring of Moebius, the cylinder, the disc, the projective plane, the torus, the Klein's bottle.
#25 La logique du fantasme #5: Le Trou-matisme. Rewriting the constitution of the Real by associating Symbolic and Association, the trauma that leaves a hole, the hole-matism.
#26 Les topologies nodales de l’objet a. The number of consistencies (number of rounds of string) conditions the structure. Paranoia, schizophrenia, and sinthome, neurosis, fantasy.
#27 Le pouvoir du signifiant. Topologies of the object a. "I kill seven with one blow" It is through this signifier that inaugurated the tale of Grimm Brave Little Tailor. The signifier carries a specific power.
#28 Des nœuds à quatre, un sinthome. A discussion around the four Borromean knot and the sinthome, with some disagreements on the possible and the impossible of transformations
#29 Manipulations topologiques. Manipulations of knots, strands and surfaces. A disputation where are discussed different structural designs of nodes. Topological objects are confronted with the psychoanalytic clinic.
#30 Anneau de Moebius et plan projectif. Articulation between the structures of the Moebius strip and the projective plane.
#31 À l’insu de mon plein gré. “I did it without the knowledge of my own volition!” How many syllables in a signifier? How to name a missing signifier? What is the nature of the skin separating signifier and signified? And separating truth and knowledge?
#32 Une logique tétravalente. The logic of the subject is tetravalent. The standard logic, called Aristotle logic, uses the principle of the excluded third. This logic is not compatible with the subject. It is necessary to use logic with four truth values.
#33 Le réel à structure cylindrique. The clinical consequences of a cylindrical structure of reality. The moebien real of Lacan may be constructed out of a cylinder. Using this structure it is often easier to explain the relation of the subject with its objects of desire; this as well in the case of "normality", neurosis, Psychosis.
#34 Découper la sphère. Gerard Crovisier performs carvings made on the sphere and discusses their clinical consequences. From time 1:01:23 we return to some questions that emerged as a result of the workshop #33.
#35 Tore vide? tore plein? When Lacan evokes the torus is it a toroidal surface (an air chamber) or a solid torus (un donut)?
#36 Voisinages, Graphe, Graphe du désir Resume topological definition of Neighborhood. Definition and example of the concept of finite states graph. The Lacan graph of desire.
#37 Logiques et Aristote. Aristotelian logic is redescribed especially in its relations between intension ( categories, types, …) and extension (the individuals, instances, …). Gerard Crovisier connects these logics to the clinic of the subject.
#38 Les Formules de la Sexuation. What differentiates the male and the female part? Why Lacan says that there is no sexual report/relationship? And that THE woman does not exist? .
#39 Les Formules de la Sexuation #02. Back to the formulas of sexuation. Many issues needed clarification.
#40 Le Chaos et la Règle 30. Following a presentation to La Lysimaque I develop the concepts of chaos and in particular Rule 30 describing what characterizes dynamical systems when being chaotic.
#41 Le maître, l’esclave, l’université, la science. How the master's speech uses the university to secure the slave's docility.

#58 The concept of subject for Hegel

Emmanuel Brassat develops before us, in its complexity, the concept of subject for Hegel. This workshop describes the subject using a Hegelian philosophical approach. This is the first part of two workshops on the subject. It will be in the session number 59 this same notion as it was introduced by Lacan, follower of Freud.

#57 Anaclitic?

Pierre Belon describes this concept of anacliticism which is necessary for the harmonious development of any child who receives his first signs of attachment. Its absence or deficit induces disastrous consequences ranging from a depressive state, so-called anaclitic depression, to autism.
