WORKSHOP The Imaginary, Symbolic, and Real Body Erik Porge Saturday, February 20, 2021 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM (EST)
2020 has been a moment of truth for analysts, too. The pandemic and State health regulations related to it had an impact on the practice of psychoanalysis, unveiling confusions and misunderstandings on the part of the analysts themselves. Psychoanalysis is based on the subjective presence in the treatment, where the relation between speech and body weaves together life, death, sexuality, i.e. the drives and their vicissitudes. Presence allows for the psychoanalytic act to take place and for the treatment to unfold. The issues of “cure” in analysis and of psychosomatic symptoms will also be addressed.
Suggested readings: Freud: “The Dynamics of the Transference” (1912); “A Child Is Being Beaten” (1919); Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1920). Lacan: “La Troisième” (1974); Seminars XVI, 1968-69, D’un Autre à l’autre; XI, 1964, The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis; “Conférences et entretiens dans les universités nord-américaines” (Scilicet 6/7, 1976).
Erik Porge practices psychoanalysis in Paris and is a founding member of the association L’instance lacanienne and the editor-in-chief of the journal Essaim. He is a faculty member of Après-Coup Psychoanalytic Association. In English he has published Truth and Knowledge in the Clinic (2017), and the latest of his many books in French is Amour, désir, jouissance. Le moment de la sublimation (2020).
