LACAN ON PSYCHOANALYTIC SAVOIR-FAIRE AND THE SINTHOME, Seminar
ADRIANA PASSINI and MARTIN WINN
The second fundamental concept that Lacan proposes in Seminar XI is “Repetition”.
We will examine this concept through out the function of the “Tuche”, as Lacan names it, the encounter with the Real, in so far as, it is essentially the missed encounter.
We will pay special attention to the notion of the Real as trauma and its paradoxical connection with the Pleasure Principle.
Reading: Seminar XI, Class V, “Tuche and Automaton”.
MEETING PLACE: The School of Visual Arts, 136 West 21st Street(between 6th and 7th Avenues), New York City. Please ask at the front desk for the room number.
