Marie-Hélène Brousse

As women assert themselves on the world stage and sexual categories multiply, psychoanalysis reveals that the feminine cannot be reduced to biological or cultural data. This book explores the feminine outside of gender and beyond fantasy. From the words of analysands, it extracts some experiences of jouissance.

Este libro, paciente y cuidadosamente compilado por Gabriela Camaly y Alejandra Glaze, es un nuevo retoño de las pioneras "noches de sutilezas" inauguradas en la eol en 2012 y cuyas ramas ahora se entrelazan, a través de algunos de sus miembros, con las de otras tres Escuelas de la Asociación Mundial de Psicoanálisis: la École de la Cause freudienne, la Escuela Lacaniana de Psicoanálisis del Campo Freudiano, y la Escola Brasileira de Psicanálise. En estas páginas, veintidós analistas de aquí y de allá conspiran para oponerse al discurso del amo contemporáneo y sostener, junto a Lacan, que "todo el mundo es loco", así como para mostrar que, además de las locuras generales y estructurales, la locura de cada uno, nuestra locura, es precisamente aquello que mejor nos define, o sea, lo que nos hace ser quienes somos. Ella es como ese Minotauro que, según dice Cortázar, llevamos "en el corazón, en el recinto negro de la voluntad". Y si el amo contemporáneo es el Teseo que busca aniquilarlo, el analista propicia, en cambio, que cada analizante llegue con su propio Minotauro a un nuevo arreglo más soportable, no tan oneroso y, de ser posible, compatible con el goce de la vida. (Del Posfacio escrito por Gerardo Arenas)

La locura de cada uno

En su propósito por examinar y debatir abiertamente los temas que atañen a la sociedad, el psicoanálisis de orientación lacaniana tuvo un vehículo de excepción en las II Conferencias Internacionales Jacques Lacan, celebradas en 2019. Su título, Mujeres y discursos, ya deja clara la voluntad de tratar una materia con múltiples y complejas facetas, que atrae tanto a especialistas como a todas aquellas personas con interés por un enfoque psicológico de la cuestión.Tomando como punto de partida los lazos sociales que tienden las mujeres, los debates presentados en este libro se centran en tres grandes ejes vertebradores: la dominación masculina establecida a través del discurso y la reacción de la cultura feminista; la problemática de la maternidad y la feminidad separadas por un vacío, y, por último, el lugar de lo femenino en la experiencia analítica. Se trata de propuestas desarrolladas por la doctora en psicoanálisis Marie-Hélène Brousse, que se ven enriquecidas por las diferentes miradas y voces de otras mujeres.

The Lacanian Review (TLR) is a semiannual English-language journal of psychoanalysis, with bilingual (French - English) presentations of texts by Jacques Lacan and Jacques-Alain Miller. TLR publishes writing from prominent international figures of the Lacanian Orientation, featuring new theoretical developments in psychoanalysis, testimonies of the pass, dialogues with other discourses, and articles on contemporary culture, politics, art and science. Each issue explores a theme intersecting the symptoms of our era and emerging work in the New Lacanian School (NLS) and the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP).In issue 6 of The Lacanian Review (TLR), there is not a moment to lose. The acceleration of culture and the vertiginous pressure of the drive seem to collapse the instant to see, the time to understand and the moment to conclude. The urgent subject of the now cannot catch up to rapid cycles of political upheaval and social media streams turned into torrents of data. Production overflows consumption in a tidal wave of imaginary cacophony. How does psychoanalysis today respond to urgent times?For its 6th issue, The Lacanian Review (TLR) tasks the signifier, Urgent!, to orient the work of the New Lacanian School (NLS) in examining the urgent cases that occupy our clinic in preparation for the 2019 NLS Congress in Tel Aviv: ¡URGENT! Tracing the edge of the latest Lacan, Bernard Seynhaeve (President of the NLS) curated a series of newly established texts by Jacques Lacan and Jacques-Alain Miller, translated by Russell Grigg, appearing in the first ever bilingual featured section of TLR. Four lessons from the seminars of Jacques-Alain Miller frame this issue.TLR 6 draws heavily from the work of the current Analysts of the School to explore four new fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis: Pass, Real Unconscious, Urgent Cases, and Satisfaction. Interviews with Angelina Harari (President of the WAP), Ricardo Seldes (Director of Pausa), and Lee Edelman (Professor of English Literature at Tufts University) elaborate fundamental concepts across the work of the School One, the clinic of applied analysis, and literary theory in dialogue with psychoanalysis. A groundbreaking orientation text by Éric Laurent from the 2018 Congress of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP) will be published for the first time in English, along with clinical cases exploring transference and psychosis. And finally, approaching the problem of temporality in psychoanalysis, this issue spans Freudian time-management to the logic of the cut in the Lacanian Orientation.TLR is published by the New Lacanian School (amp-nls.org) and distributed by the Lacanian Compass Bookshop (lacaniancompass.com) and Eurl Huysmans (ecf-echoppe.com).

The Lacanian Review (TLR) is a semiannual English-language journal of psychoanalysis, with bilingual (French - English) presentations of texts by Jacques Lacan and Jacques-Alain Miller. TLR publishes writing from prominent international figures of the Lacanian Orientation, featuring new theoretical developments in psychoanalysis, testimonies of the pass, dialogues with other discourses, and articles on contemporary culture, politics, art and science. Each issue explores a theme intersecting the symptoms of our era and emerging work in the New Lacanian School (NLS) and the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP).In our Post-Truth era, reality is under attack. The contemporary moment is disoriented by fake news, chatbots, conspiracy theories and a digital flood of leaks, lies and revelations. On hold with automated phone answering services, one pleads to just talk to a real person. But we are also complicit, enjoying online avatars, virtual reality, augmented reality and cryptocurrency fueled binges.Over a century ago, psychoanalysis learned from psychotic subjects that chasing after reality is folly. Reality is just another delusion in the service of the fantasy. To find an orientation amidst the proliferating loss of belief in reality experienced today, psychoanalysis must shift the question to find an exit from the reality trap. In its 7th issue, The Lacanian Review interrogates what is real in psychoanalysis. TLR7 introduces a landmark translation by Philip Dravers of the late Lacan's momentus and polyphonic address, "The Third," followed by texts exploring the Borromean clinic. Marie-Helene Brousse curates a dossier that approaches the subject of the real through dialogue with quantum physics and new work by Philippe de Georges and Clotilde Leguil. Interviews with Matteo Barsuglia, astrophysicist at the National Center for Scientific Research in France and Catherine Pépin, researcher at the Institute of Theoretical Physics (IPhT) of the Atomic Energy Center at Saclay (France), advance a critical conversation between two discourses that delineates what we call reality and real.Three new translations of Jacques-Alain Miller, published for the first time in English, examine truth, fiction and science in relation to the real as the impossible, but also the contingent. These lessons question whether we are in a Post-Truth era or the era of the Lying-Truth.Attesting to the singular experience of the real in psychoanalysis, TLR 7 presents three testimonies of the pass of current Analysts of the School. Clinical cases, the politics of the real, biotechnology, and Lady Gaga with Hamlet are all assembled in this issue of The Lacanian Review, a journal which might not be of a semblant. Get Real!TLR is published by the New Lacanian School (amp-nls.org) and distributed by the Lacanian Compass Bookshop (lacaniancompass.com) and Eurl Huysmans (ecf-echoppe.com).
