Presentation of the theme for the Xth Congress of the WAP in Rio de Janeiro in 2016
Rather
than the icing on the cake, I'd prefer to think in terms of a beverage
that I'm about to serve you as an after-dinner liqueur, to wash down the
nourishment that this Congress has given you and to whet your
appetites with a thought for the next Congress two years from now. So,
the expectation is that I shall set the theme for the next Congress and
provide an introduction to it.
I was just thinking how this has
lasted for over thirty years, if we suppose that this series of WAP
Congresses took over from what were known as the International
Encounters of the Freudian Field that began in 1980. So here we are
again, up against the same wall. Mur , the French word for "wall", is
the word that has occurred to me, and this is evocative of the neologism
that pokes fun at amour : is it to amur that I owe the invariable
honour that has been bestowed upon me of setting the tone of the
symphony, the symphony that the members of the WAP, whom we are, will
have to compose over the next two years before we meet again? Is this
the doing of transference, a transference that is brought back to the
one to whom fell the onus of founding our association so long ago? But
as I've just reminded you, the onus of setting a title, a name, or at
least a theme, was something that I had assumed before, at the time of
the first International Encounter that was held in Caracas, in Lacan's
presence. If there is amur , I would not refer it to the function
of the founder, which nothing in our statutes sanctions, I would rather
it were referred to the function of a guide, which is a function that I
ascribed to myself by giving my Course the title Lacanian Orientation.
Amur
means above all that the wall of language has to be pierced through
anew each time in order to try to grasp more tightly, let's not say the
real, but rather what we do in our analytic practice. In the end,
though, to orient myself in Lacan's thought has been my concern, and I
know that this is something we share. In fact, the World Association of
Psychoanalysis has no other cohesion but this. At least, this concern is
the fundamental principle behind the gathering that we form, above and
beyond the statutes and the insurance systems, and even beyond the ties
of friendship and sympathy that have grown between us over the years.
