Lacan and Dreams 4: Where is the Other in Freud's Irma dream?
Lacan repeatedly highlights the theme of the dissolution of the ego in his Seminar II discussion of Freud's Irma dream. This is connected to another famous dream in the history of psychoanalysis where Lacan likewise discerns the emergence of 'the Medusa's head': the Wolfman's dream of the staring wolves. If desire rather than wish is crucial in Lacan's approach to dreams, and if desire is located at the level of the symbolic Other, then where is the Other in Freud's dream? We make reference to the triangular schema from Seminar XX so as to situate elements of Freud's dream, noting also crucial elements of historical/biographical contextualization (i.e. a passage in one of Freud's letters to Fleiss), and ask: is Lucifer an exemplary instance of the 'imaginarization of the real'?

Stijn Vanheule on 'Why Psychosis is Not So Crazy (3/3): How to Work Clinically with Psychosis
Переглядів 7593 місяці тому
How to make sense of threatening hallucinatory voices? Stijn highlights the allusive nature of such phenomena and speaks about how such voices often occur when the person themselves is experiencing a threat. He offers thoughts on how clinicians might work with such experiences, and advocates an approach that discerns the logic of hallucinations. We reiterate the Freudian point that delusions ar...
Stijn Vanheule on 'Why Psychosis is Not so Crazy' (2/3): Hallucinations and delusions
Переглядів 9703 місяці тому
Stijn speaks about the following section of his book: “Manifest psychotic experiences are a response to this nascent feeling of alienation. When this happens, either reality starts to speak for itself in the form of hallucinations, or else reality is invaded by a series of mysterious associations and meanings within the context of a delusion” (p. 89). He also goes on to conceptualize intrusive ...

Early on in Stijn’s book he says: “Lacan regarded madness as a limit-experience of human freedom, meaning an experience in which our capacity for astonishment, creative invention, and non-conformist actions is expressed to the fullest” (p. 20). He directly cites Lacan: “Not only can man’s being not be understood without madness, but it would be man’s being if it did not bear madness within itse...
Narcissism in Freud and Lacan (primary and secondary forms)
Переглядів 2,2 тис.3 місяці тому
Freud uses the notion of narcissism to different types of conceptual work: 1) as a mode of designating homosexual object choice, 2) to designate a stage between auto-eroticism and object love, 3) so as to speak of libidinal investments (as in the 'see-saw' between ego-libido and object-libido). It is also used - as in Abraham's work - as a means of thinking about how, in psychosis, we see the r...

As Lacan's account of Freud's Irma's injection dream gains momentum, we hear about the footnote of the three wishes from The Interpretation of Dreams, the notion of the subject as opposed to the ego, the joke about the borrowed kettle, and the operations involved in the making as opposed to the interpretation of dreams (that is, the imaginarization of the symbolic and the symbolization of the i...
Lacan and Dreams 2 : What is 'navel' of the Irma's injection dream?

Lacan's extraordinary discussion of Freud's dream of Irma's injection involves a moment when Lacan insists that the meaning of the dream is contained in nothing but the scientific formula for trimethylamine that Freud sees in bold type in the dream: "This explains everything...[this] is the meaning of the dream" (SII, p. 158). There is, of course, much more to be said about this 'second culmina...
Lacan and Dreams 1: Does Lacan interpret dreams?
Переглядів 2,7 тис.3 місяці тому
It is easy enough to say what Freud's approach to dream interpretation is - all one needs to do is to refer to his 'The Interpretation of Dreams'. It is less easy to say what Lacan's approach to dreams is. Why? Well, although Lacan's thinking on dreams is - obviously enough - grounded in Freudian psychoanalysis, there are also important differences in how he thinks about and works clinically wi...

Переглядів 3627 місяців тому
We consider the topics of scansion and punctuation and consider 'subjectivizing' temporality in clinical treatments, especially in relation to the tactic of 'running out the clock'. Daniel discusses Fanon's idea that 'action upon reality is integrative'. Crucial also is the question of agency in the Lacanian/Fanonian clinic. Given the prioritization that Fanon gives to 'combined action' (mis-re...

Переглядів 4077 місяців тому
Continuing our discussion of clinical technique, Daniel speaks about the extimacy of speech, the significance of remixing words, and the importance of thinking beyond the psychoanalytic dyad. We ask: Does Lacan have enough of a sociogeny? Daniel builds a bridge between Fanon’s idea that ‘action upon reality is integrating’ and Lacan’s technique of scansion as an active intervention.
(2) Fanon, Lacan, Decolonial: Interview Daniel Gaztambide :Real, zone of nonbeing, transformation
Переглядів 6627 місяців тому
In keeping with his focus on first person accounts of psychoanalysis with Lacan, Daniel discusses Betty Milan’s book Analysed by Lacan. He considers unexpected parallels between Lacan and Ferenczi and then, via a discussion of ‘re-encountering the real’, speaks about the clinical and political implications for transformation contained within Fanon’s idea of the zone of nonbeing.

    4:35 - "idea that there may be some transparency whereby feelings emotions and so on could as it were directly be portrayed or described is something that doesn't sit well with a general psychoanalytic ethos." Why not? You can't describe what you are feeling? The point of description is re-perception, it is a process of seeing anew all that we have overlooked (read: it was unconscious, indeed even on the surface, before our eyes). So this is what Husserl calls "the taken for granted" (imaginary). Remember that Husserl is in Crisis constantly talking about semantic slips. We are hardly closer to psychoanalysis and he even tells us where the place of psychoanalysis is. Returning to lived experience is the equivalent of returning to listening to what the patient is saying. In both cases, it is not a matter of blindly accepting what is said, but of discovering the structure of what is seen/heard, i.e. the conditions of possibility. Gestalt psychology is the predecessor of structuralism. After all, Merleau-Ponty was the first to introduce Saussure into the French scene, for a reason.

    @jenniferh.7219 2 місяці тому

    Jouissance and the big other they are both relative to our world & our world is tied to words, emotional or psychosomatic states and unconsciousness. Jouissance is still a reflection of our consciousness and unconsciousness unfolding

    I finally realize that Jouissance helps explain my interest in videos about justice against corrupt cops (first showing either how they are exposed as wrong, or they ticket, jail an innocent person) but later a lawyer or civic person exposes the second half of the story like how the charges are dropped and the officer has to step down. And my love of AITA posts & videos

    So I may have to go back to see if this is discussed but what about the example of online forums? For instance in Facebook I follow a person who is representative of a group Native American powow. Every few days I received a Facebook alert Native American powow has mentioned you in a post. Keep in mind that aside from following them and making a comment on a picture I do not know them personally. What I am trying to get at is, sometimes with online posts people seem to Appeal to the Big Other (or at least to a function or aspect of the Big Other) by providing posts and messages then relayed to another entity presumedly bigger than themself (or a couple people) alone - that is they are appealing or sharing that is their thoughts, pictures, art, happenings etc to a larger audience - some of whom (add in some cases all of whom) the person may never actually meet. Or of course they could organize a meet up for a share information about where they're going to be at an event and actually meet some of the people or their online followers or online 'community'. The point is, the person sharing these missives or transmissions seem to be doing so a part of a practice akin to the Big Other - that is the supposed online community or people they are sharing with functions as a Big Other. One which can presumedly support them in their comments, thoughts shared sentiments, or depending on the situation could turn against them. Also there is an element of, I (the origin poster, ie Native American powow in this instance) can share my views, my pain - and by doing so the person can get back sort of pleasure out of it - that is a pleasure in or resultant from sharing their pain - in terms of the other effects & results - so it almost has a component of Jouissance to it. So I believe that there are various aspects of making posts online that are akin to appealing to the Big Other - using online media / forum as mode or content to appeal to the big other

    Thank you, Dr. Hook, for such an informative video, but I am wondering with a question in my mind. I mean, what, or I should rather say, how, the image ( ideal ego) how does this ideal ego interact with the symbolic? I mean, the process of subjectivization necessarily involves coming into symbolic, in spite of the violence it involves, but how does that jump from Image to language take place? if you can explain it a bit, that you so much.

    I would say 70% of people are psychotic. They believe in one or more invisible arbitors that run this whole sh!t show. Only a small portion of these unlive their children because of demon possession. Many people have drug induced psychosis and are better for it. My son that saw his buddy get run over by a grain truck when he was seven and they were playing together never really claimed the subsequent voices he heard helped much.

    Interesting... However more refreshing - beyond what I call the Lacanian cult: Deleuze and Gattari Dr. Thomas Szasz "All schools of psycho-therapy are much akin to churches and religions, with therapists as their brainwashed priests -and should never get mixed up with law, let alone the state" T. Szasz was a genius Not a science. Far more a creation of truths through the adaptation and projection / fabrication of top-down conceptual ideas to be spread within academia, culture and upon the world and its people. Eg. Bernays x Freud. The future will be hilarious as soon as A.I. understands how to trick us through all the bs we believe. We are being played out by ANYTHING we believe we freely choose to believe for better or worse.
