SUBLIMATION AT THE END OF ANALYSIS, Workshop
ERIK PORGE
Lacan’s homage to Marguerite Duras for her novel Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein extends his theory of the letter through the question of sublimation. We will re-situate sublimation in relation to the drives, especially the invocatory drive, and explore what becomes of sublimation after the end of analysis, and the implication of this for the paternal function.
SUGGESTED READINGS: Freud, “Drives and Their Vicissitudes” (1915). Lacan, “Hommage à Marguerite Duras…”(1965), Autres écrits. Marguerite Duras, Le Ravissement de Lol V. Stein (The Ravishing of Lol Stein, Pantheon). Erik Porge, Voix de l’écho.
