The London Society of the New Lacanian School
Seminar of the London Society of the NLS
LACANIAN INTERPRETATION
25th April 2009
ULU, Malet St. London WC1, at 2pm in room 2A (2nd Floor)
The LS Seminar on Lacanian Interpretation continues;
Speakers are:
Julia Evans: “Interpretation and the Knowledge of the Analyst”
Rik Loose: “Per via di porre, per via di levare and per via di buchi?”
This presentation attempts to develop a discourse of contemporary symptoms and demonstrate that it is related to both the discourse of capitalism and to the discourse of analysis. The aim of the development of such a discourse is to indicate that our interventions or interpretations have to cut a hole (buchi) in the discourse of the analysand much in the same way as it is currently being discussed in the school.

Last Seminar in the Series:
30-May
Richard Klein: TBC
Vincent Dachy: "Allusion, Actualisation and Off-cuts."
There is a question of this kind at the beginning of an analysis. How do we hear such a question? How do we interpret such a request? Can we, should we answer it? Perhaps, the psychoanalyst is an expert after all and has got all the answers!? Ready-made answers for average individuals? Well, if the psychoanalyst knows something it must be that there is an incommensurability between the average normality and the singularity of a so-called individual. So, the psychoanalyst does not resort to a Big Book where all the answers are already written but will invite the analysand to open his/her own book! And they’ll start reading. It’s called interpreting. But what could interpreting be if it is not telling someone what something means? That is precisely what the NLS Seminar will tackle next year. We have to face the fact that interpretation in psychoanalysis is not the same as what it is in philosophy, religion or therapy. To face that fact and to account for it! During seven seminars we will address fundamental aspects of the practice of Lacanian analysis, which make it different from any other talking cure. What do we listen to? Who knows what’s important? Who decides what means something, and what something means? What is the authority in psychoanalysis? What do we hope for, expect from meaning? Is there something beyond or after meaning - if anything at all? This is nothing short of questioning the causality by which Lacanian psychoanalysis abides.
