Event Details

On 28th of November 2020 Petros Patounas, psychoanalyst of the School of the Freudian Letter, will present a seminar entitled End of analysis: the Cause of the No-Body.

Summary

What is the end of one’s analysis and how the body and the experience of the world change? What is the place of the object a in the subject who has been analyzed? How desire manifests? What is the place of symptoms in the end of analysis?

P. Patounas will be responding to these questions and will touch upon the following, amongst other, themes:

- The Other and the end of analysis.

- The body and the world.

- Ways of ending analysis: the Symptom, the Sinthome, and the Act.

- The experience of love: the one who carries the object a and the one who supports desire.

- The end of analysis and the transmission of desire: from the body of the Uncanny to the world.

- The fundamental fantasy and the literal of desire.

- Remarks on the Freudian Abstinence vs the Subtraction of the Subject.

- Topology: a few remarks on practicing with a No-Body.

- The world within the world.

- The function of the Death drive after analysis.

- The death of the Nix-Being: the Signifier, the Letter and the Signature.
