SEXUAL IDENTITY AND THE UNCONSCIOUS

When we refer to the subject of the unconscious as revised by Lacan, we are used to say that it has no identity, since it is always a « twosome », divided between two signifiers. More generally speaking, the unconscious is not fit to establish an identity, be it the sexual one, due to the fact that it is structured like a language.
Moreover, the uncertainty as to being a man or being a woman is a fact: the subject is troubled and doubts because it wants to be sure that it has actually the sex corresponding to its anatomy – unless a delusional certitude makes it raise objections as to this anatomy. Continue reading…

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

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

Jean-Gerard Bursztein practices and teaches psychoanalysis in Paris, He holds a doctorate in philosophy and his recent publications include the following:

On the difference between psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, NEF, 2008.

Jouissance féminine et hypothèse mathématique du continu, NEF, 2008,

WHEN THE CURE STOPS…
A cure has a beginning, and, with a few exceptions, it does not last for all of the analysand’s life. A variety of stops and ways out can be elicited and differentiated.
When the cure is part of the training of the analyst it is expected to last until its “logical end”: what Lacan called the “pass” between the analysand and the analyst.
Sometimes —and should we say often— patients leave their analysis before reaching this stopping point and, at times, unexpectedly.
During the PES we will try to qualify the different ways a patient might put a stop to his cure: acting-out? act? error of the analyst in the direction of the treatment? satisfaction after a therapeutic result?
In the book “Rapid therapeutic effects in psychoanalysis”, Jacques-Alain Miller invited his colleagues to consider an analysis from the vantage point of a theory of cycles. The theme of this year’s PES concerns issues that have not been treated systematically so far within the Lacanian orientation.
Jacques-Alain Miller and Eric Laurent have accepted to bring a personal contribution to the Seminar.
