The Effect of the Subject
in the Psychoses

by Jacques-Alain Miller
[...] There are many roads from one formula to the other, but the same constraint is always reflected, the obligation we are under to situate the subject in reference to the phallus. [...] go to article

Fatherhood and naming in J.Lacan's works
by François Sauvagnat
In Lacan's elaborations on the father issue, one point can be said to be radically orthodox. Freud wrote, in "The future of an illusion", that there is nothing like an archetypal "oceanic feeling" related to the originary relationship to the mother; on the contrary, the most originary feeling, he thought, was the "Fatersehnsucht", the longing for the father, which was so strongly expressed in religions.

Non-Existence and Sexual Identity:
by Adrian Johnston
[...] In Lacanian discussions of feminine sexuality, what feminism takes to be yet another "masculine bias" continually resurfaces: an emphasis on the fundamental status of the phallus in determining the gender identities of both male and female subjects. [...] go to article

The Dream-Interpretation and the Dark Continent...
by Paul Murphy
Freud's elaboration of the Tramdeutung, or dream-interpretation, was central to his investigation of the unconscious and of the workings of the mind. In The Interpretation of Dreams Freud notes that the scientists of his age felt that the study of dreams was more suitable for astrologists than for scientists. [...] go to article

Contemporary Symptoms
by Howard Britton
The terms 'contemporary symptoms' or 'social symptoms' are used to refer to those new types of the symptom which are not subjective but social, and include, toxicomania, anorexia and depression. These contemporary symptoms have implications for the way that we work as analysts [...]

Lacan, Foucault: el debate...
by Jorge Aleman
El psicoanálisis no puede habitar en este mundo sin las resistencias que lo acosan, lo interpelan, lo asedian. En parte, su propio discurso no se concibe sin esas diversas estrategias que adopta en cada época frente a aquello que lo cuestiona, lo quiere integrar, rechazar, subsumir ó desviar.

Symptom in the Machine:
water closet by Louis Armand
It is in a later seminar, in 1954, that Jacques Lacan, reflecting on the technics of the mirror dialectic, assigns a "materialist definition" to the phenomenon of consciousness by means of a metaphor of a particular type of photography. [...] go to article

Showing in Disguise:
by Anuradha Bhattacharyya
From the desire to write to the desire to interpret I would like to draw a track. I hope the following assertions are worth the effort to systematize the Lacanian approach to works of fiction.

When people study literary and cultural objects, they want to know what they mean and thus the aim of any new methodology of literary criticism is to help produce interpretations which are plausible as well as new. [...] go to article

La Lingua Indiscreta e L'Irripetibile
by Marco Focchi
L'isteria è oggi scomparsa dalla nosologia psichiatrica, inghiottita dal vortice dell'oblio, come non fosse più riconoscibile dopo che ha perso i caratteri di vivace teatralità con cui si era presentata a Charcot e ai clinici del diciannovesimo secolo. [...] go to article

"Zizek in Vienna

 

The Interpassive Subject
by Slavoj Zizek
According to the classic Althusserian criticism of the Marxist problematic of commodity fetishism, this notion relies on the humanist ideological opposition of "human persons" versus "things." Is it not one of Marx's standard determinations of fetishism that, in it, we are dealing with "relations between things (commodities)" instead of direct "relations between people," i.e. that, in the fetishist universe, people (mis)perceive their social relations in the guise of relations between things?
