A SEMINAR BY BRUCE FINK

“An Exploration of Seminar XVIII, On a Discourse that Might not be a Semblance ”

On Fri 18th September (6p.m. -8p.m., followed by a wine reception) and Sat 19th September 2009 (10a.m. – 12.30p.m.)
In St Vincent’s University Hospital, Elm Park, Dublin 4

Bruce Fink is a Lacanian Psychoanalyst, Member of the Ecole de la Cause Freudienne, and Professor of Psychology at Duquesne University. He has translated many of Jacques Lacan’s works into English, including Ecrits and Seminar XX, Encore and his books include The Lacanian Subject and A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis.
The seminar will be based on a reading of Lacan’s seminar xviii, from 1970-71, D’un Discours qui ne Serait pas du Semblant (seminar xviii: On a Discourse that Might not be a Semblance) which sees Lacan struggling with Freud’s theory of the Oedipus Complex, and reinterpreting it. The Saturday morning session will be more clinical. The seminar is open to all those interested in Lacanian psychoanalysis. Those attending are invited to read the seminar in advance so that there may be lots of discussion. A translation by Cormac Gallagher is available from Karnac Books (karnacbooks.com).  Also the papers from the 2002  APPI congress, which had this theme, are published in The Letter, vol 27.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In 1905 Freud shocked his contemporaries by putting forward the view that adult sexuality was a developmental achievement and thus not something that could be understood by appeal to biology alone. Rather, he argued, sexual identity and adult sexual choices are contingent on how a subject negotiates his or her pathway through what Freud termed the Oedipus Complex – from – Freud stressed, an original point where human sexuality is polymorphous and minimally organised.

 Such a view has remained both important and controversial even as the universality of the Oedipus Complex, as conceptualised by Freud, came to be questioned.

 Lacan in his Seminar “Encore” (1972-73) radically re-evaluates the Freudian concept of the Oedipus Complex arguing for a new more rigorously defined way of understanding human sexuality, one which, however, insists that in human sexuality there is no one solution “for all”. This is because, as Lacan shows, human sexuality is a response to what he termed “the impossible” or Real, a point where something always fails – albeit if differently for men and for women. This seminar will focus on exploring Lacan’s work on the topic of human sexuality and related areas, paying particular attention to his use of logic and topology in his formulations on sexual difference
