Collection NouagesEditor: Albert Nguyên.
This collection invites psychoanalytic texts, both theoretical and clinical, that follow the teachings of Freud and Lacan. Only the clinic verifies and clarifies the advances made by Lacan. Based on the signifier and its logic, he leads us to take into consideration – necessitated by the approach to jouissances – the different modalities of knotting, unknotting and re-knotting that the analytic experience offers the subject. The act and the desire of the analyst are at the heart of what illuminates the efficacy of analysis and they constitute its originality as a discourse. The psychoanalyst takes note of the discourses of his time, whether they come from science, politics or literature, in order to affirm the social link of two. On this basis, Nouages invites the submission of texts derived from the experience of analysts, whether clinical or epistemic, that draw consequences from the teaching of Lacan, that broaden the possibility of dialogue. |
Collection RésonancesEditor: Anita Izcovich.
Résonances will publish works that put psychoanalysis in relation to sciences and connected fields. Psychoanalysis has had an impact on literary and art theory, as well as philosophy and anthropology. Psychoanalytic theory, while being devoted to the clinic, is always open to other fields that put its concepts to work. Each discourse can be illuminated by what is beyond its limits. Freud himself took advantage of the light that different fields shed on his exploration of concepts such as sublimation, ethics and morality, in order to elucidate the clinic of the symptom in its relation to the fantasy. Lacan used other discourses to focus his theory on the edge of language [langue and langage] upon which analytic discourse is founded and which is based on the concepts of the real and jouissance that subtend the clinic and the analytic act. Thus for psychoanalysis there is a necessary recourse to this first alterity of the signifier to allow the irreducible of his theory about what is most foreign in other discourses to resonate. In this way the collection Résonances opens the way to areas of theory and practice yet unexplored and to a possibility of transmitting psychoanalysis. |
Collection Belle plumeEditor: Florence Signon.
The collection Belle plume invites literary works that are of interest to psychoanalysis. Goethe, Dostoyevsky or Shakespeare opened the way for Freud, Joyce and Claudel for Lacan. Literature has the power to interpellate psychoanalysis because there is a singular writing: “avoir une belle plume” [to have fine handwriting]. This is the mark of a style, a mode of being in the world, a theme that knots literature and psychoanalysis, and of an experience to be shared. In modern literature, psychoanalysis finds something that nourishes its thinking and its current research. |
