The Seminar of Jacques Lacan: The Other Side of Psychoanalysis

Jacques Lacan

I found the book recently. I think to have lost it. This séminar, the XVII, is,from my point of view the only one readable. It was in 1970. Of course there is all the lacanian language. Nothing there misses. Word games, the vocabulary crypto-Christian (assumption of image of the mother)The seminars were events chic and society. People pressed there to listen to the Master. Lacan puted on airs and behaved like an old capricious actor. He took pleasure in diverting his audience by digressions. It's the difficulty to read the seminars. It's not rigorous.It is imagined that this audience was comparable with the Sartre's one "Existentialism is an humanism" described by Vian with irony in "Ecume des jours".The interest is that he shows brilliantly the mistake of Freud in "Totem and taboo". No, in the primitive horde the old father did not have the monopoly of the women. He fixes the concept of segregation to go to beyond of Oedipus. He sees in this segregation like the origin of fraternity.On this point,Girard will see the origine of sacral. But from my point of view, the best confrontation is with Lévinas.Whatever his defects I cannot to prevent me to be fascinated by him. "The origin of world" of Courbet (now at Musée d'Orsay) was fixed on the wall in his office.I imagine an analysis in this athmosphere.
