JOYCE HISTORICAL/HYSTERICAL: THE KNOW-HOW OF LALANGUE, Workshop
JEAN-MICHEL VAPPEREAU
Returning to Lacan’s reading of Joyce, this workshop will explore the intrinsic and extrinsic structure of language and in particular the know-how of lalangue. We will focus on the notions of signifier, repetition, narcissism, sexuation and difference, underlining the role of “involution” as the bond connecting the identical with the different.

MEETING PLACE: The School of Visual Arts, 136 West 21st Street (between Sixth and Seventh Avenues), New York City. Please ask at the front desk for the room number.
