FREUD READING SEMINAR

11.00 -1pm

Speaker:

Bogdan Wolf : "Traces of the Unconscious"

"In this introductory seminar I will pursue Freud's early traces of the unconscious before he invented psychoanalysis as a clinical practice as we know it today. At the same time we will read how and where Freud found the traces of the unconscious to which he testifies in his preliminary, sometimes called pre-psychoanalytical, work including the Entwurf, his papers on hypnosis and the letters to Fliess. This should be treated as an introduction to his later papers of 1912, 1915, 1923."

THE LONDON SOCIETY OF THE NLS WORKING SEMINAR

SYMBOLIC AND SYMPTOM IN THE 21^ST CENTURY

14.30 -17.00

Chair: Vincent Dachy

Speakers:

Roger Litten: The Symptom in the Fantasy

Veronique Voruz: Mutations of the Legal Discourse – Clinical Consequences

Gabriela Vanden Hoven: Reading the New Symptoms – A tracing of some co-ordinates

We will be using three basic texts of reference as a common platform for the work of the seminar. A working acquaintance with these texts will therefore be a useful basis for participation in the seminar. These three texts are as follows:

1. Eric Laurent’s initial text proposing the theme of the forthcoming AMP Congress under the title ‘The Symbolic Order in the 21^st Century: Consequences for the Treatment’, published in English translation in the latest issue of Hurly Burly or available on the website of the AMP (under Papers No. 1).
2. Jacques-Alain Miller’s text ‘A Fantasy’, originally presented at the 4^th AMP Congress in Comantatuba in Brasil (Lacanian practice – without standards but not without principles). This text, originally published in Lacanian Praxis No. 1 (May 2005), is now available in a revised translation on the AMP website.
3. Leornardo Gorostiza, recent argument for the next AMP Congress, entitled ‘Resonances of a Fantasy’, which opens up some of the unresolved questions posed for us by Miller’s paper within the framework of the theme for the Congress. This paper is also available in English translation on the website of the AMP.
