On the Subject’s Relation to Knowledge, Part II Paola Mieli
Friday, January 25, 2019 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm The School of Visual Arts
136 West 21st Street, Room 408, New York, NY
Returning to Freud and Lacan, this seminar will reflect on the function that knowledge and belief play in the subject’s relation to the world. Denial, disavowal, foreclusion—and their subjective and collective implications—will be explored, as well as the differences between unconscious and conscious knowledge, between savoir, connaissance and savoir faire.
Readings for January 25th, 2019: S. Freud, Neurosis and Psychosis, 1923; The Loss of Reality in Neurosis and Psychosis (1924); J. Lacan, Seminar III, Psychosis, Chapters I and II; A. Didier-Weill, “Astonishment in Everyday Life”, in The Three Times of The Law, Chapter I (1995 [2017]).
