New in Actuality The Real in the 21st Century
Anguila - (Eel)
The author examines the intimate, slippery, and electric relationship between psychoanalysis and politics: although "psychoanalysis is the exact reverse of politics," "the unconscious is politics." Moreover, "psychoanalysis is undoubtedly not revolutionary," but it "is subversive" and did "tremendous damage to tradition." By Jacques-Alain Miller *
* The text transcript of the conference "Anguille en politique," issued on radio France-Culture in 2005, was translated into Spanish especially for Página/12 regarding the visit of Jacques-Alain Miller at the Eighth Congress World Association of Psychoanalysis, "The symbolic order in the twenty-first century is no longer what it was," being held these days in Buenos Aires. |
