Field Evening on the 28th of January. 2022, at 20:00

 The Ethics of Psychoanalysis 

The seminar on the ethics of psychoanalysis marks a cut in Jacques Lacan's teaching, it is the seminar of a transgression of his previous teaching. Jacques-Alain Miller speaks of the third paradigm of enjoyment that Lacan develops here, the paradigm of an impossible jouissance, in other words an jouissance that is beyond the pleasure principle and beyond the chain of signifiers. This jouissance is real and refers to a field that lies closed off and cordoned off by boundaries before us. It is the field of Das Ding that the tragedy of human experience is written to reach. The ethics of psychoanalytic experience is oriented towards this Real.

How do we read this seminar today, when the cloth of the subject has become so thin? As the textile disappears, so does the text and the trauma of transgression to Das Ding emerges openly.

This evening is the first of several Field Evenings in this academic year dedicated to the various contributions from Cartell's work on Seminar VII.
