SEMINAR On the Subject’s Relation to Knowledge Paola Mieli
Friday, April 6, 2018 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.

Lacan, Seminar Book 1, Chapters XXI, XXII (1955); Seminar XI, Chapter XVIII (1964); G.Agamben, Homo Sacer, Introduction; Part III, chapters 1,2,3 (1995).
