THE PSYCHOSOMATIC RESPONSE, Workshop

PURA CANCINA

The psychosomatic has typically been dealt with as a “disorder,” an “illness or condition,” or a “phenomenon,” but is best described as a “response.” Labels have their clinical consequences; through clinical examples our workshop will examine the assumptions behind these terms.

SUGGESTED READINGS: Lacan, “Conférence à Genève sur le symptôme,” Oct. 4, 1975; Seminar XI, 1964/65, The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis, class 17, “Subject and Other (II): Aphanisis.”

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. 

 ATTENDANCE FEE: $50. For students with ID: $20. Attendance is free for all members of Après-Coup as well as for the faculty and students of the School of Visual Arts
