Lacan in theory: The Four Discourses
In-person Seminar
In his 1969-1970 seminar (The Other Side of Psychoanalysis. Book XVII, Norton & Co: New York, 2007), Lacan puts forward his theory of the four discourses: hysteric, master, university, and analyst. We propose a close reading of seminar XVII. We will further our exploration with contemporary authors, and connect the impact of these discourses on contemporary events as well as our practice as clinicians. If time allows, we will study Lacan’s 5th discourse, that of the capitalist, as presented in his 1972 lecture in Milan.
Location: Philadelphia Center City / In-person only
Dates: 1st Saturday every other month 1:00-3:30 pm EST / September 3 & November 5, 2016-January 7, March 4 & May 6 2017
