H20 : Suture
In Obsessionality

by Jacques-Alain Miller
[...] Clinical psychoanalysis does not consist in a mere collection of facts — or case histories — classified according to types of symptoms. Rather, it is a set of constructions varying with the given subjective positions that structure psychoanalytic experience. [...] go to article

The Hysteric's Discourse
by Gérard Wajcman
Let us talk about hysteria, a field of investigation almost without limitations: throughout history there are writers telling us about hysteria, from the miraculous healing at the temple of Asclepios to the treatment of anorexia in a modern hospital; from the witch and her dealings with the devil to the high society lady and her fainting spills.

Céline's Ultimate Focalization
by David Hayman
Even without consulting the biographies and letters, we find in Louis-Ferdinand Céline's novels enough evidence of a persistent persecution complex together with conspiracy theories reenforced by the use of paranoia as a topic to make the fantasies of his first-person protagonists seem relatively mild while dramatizing his own need to purge himself of personal demons.[...] go to article

Negation and its Reliabilities
by Robert Pfaller
[...] Under the condition of universal doubt, every possible content must appear questionable. But there is one level which evades this doubt: the level from which the doubt originates. The agency which doubts is not identical with anything that can be submitted to the doubt. What thinks, is not identical with anything that is being thought. [...] go to article

Contemporary Sexuality
and its Discontents

by Matthew Sharpe
The title of this essay involves a self-conscious echoing of Sigmund Freud's famous later essay "Civilisation and Its Discontents". In that paper, Freud asks several of the most intractable questions facing the human condition, including what is the meaning of life? And: why and how is it that humans come to suffer?

Transgenerational Phenomena
by Jaime Delgadillo Miranda
Transgenerational phenomena concern the transmission and exchange of cultural affaires, wherein the individual psychological experience is intimately related to and influenced by the complex web of relationships within the family/social structure. [...] go to article

J'accuse?
by Alex Betancourt-Serrano
Ieva Mediodia drawing
Jacques Derrida begins his essay on Freud with what sounds as the announcement of a prosecutor. It reminds us of those warnings that government officials are so fond of giving. In short we seem to have in front of us a carefully crafted and elaborated version of the well known French indictment J'accuse. [...] go to article

The Semiotics Of
Schreber's Memoirs

by Janet Lucas
[...] It is my principal argument that Schreber uses science as a substitute-a barrier or a rim that maintains Schreber at a distance from the term he foreclosed, i.e., religion (the symbolic legacy of his father. Science as such, functions as the sinthome, i.e., the fourth term or ring (Lacan, Seminar XXIII, 17) that binds together the imaginary, the symbolic and the real, and simultaneously maintains a semiotic distance from the place of the foreclosed signifier.

Torture — a presence
without an absence

by Eric Harper
When someone is subjected to torture, something external impinges and breaks down the individual's protective shield, which leaves the person in a helpless state with the result that, internal and external registers get confused. Having survived, the person is left with a residue of something excessive that is too much to bear, something intolerable that disrupts the process of getting through the day - linear time - and overburdens the signifying apparatus.

In His Bold Gaze
My Ruin Is Writ Large

by Slavoj Zizek
What's wrong with The Wrong Man?
To comply with the dialectical axiom that the only way to reach the underlying law of an universe is through its exception, let's begin with The Wrong Man, a film which clearly sticks out from the totality of Hitchcock's oeuvre:
On the one hand, The Wrong Man is Hitchcock at its purest. His special attachment to it is attested by the exceptional character of his cameo-appearance in the prologue [...] go to article
