WORKSHOP: The Analyst’s Sublimation, Part II Erik Porge Friday, February 14 • 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm Saturday, February 15 • 10:30 am – 2:00 pm The School of Visual Arts 136 West 21st Street, New York, NY
The sublimation specific to the analyst plays out in an essentially logical savoir-faire regarding the fundamental rule (on the one hand, equally suspended attention, on the other, free association). A limit-concept that works on limits, sublimation takes place at the Moebian interface between language and mathemes. It supports a different identification from that with the symptom.
Suggested readings: Lacan: Seminar XI, The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis (1964), Preface to the 1976 English-language edition; Seminar XVI, D’un Autre à l’autre, 1968-69; Autres écrits, “Proposition du 9 octobre 1967 sur le psychanalyste de l’Ecole” and “Conférence à Genève sur le symptôme” (1975).
