The Lacan Circle Reading Group
Jacques Lacan, Seminar V
Formations of the Unconscious
“The fact is that the subject, because he is a speaking subject, and solely for this reason,
is unable to harm the other without harming himself, so much so that
the demand for death is the death of demand.”
This reading group concluded in February 2024
