Lacan’s Seminar XVI: From an Other to the other was released in English translation in 2024. Our seminar will address Lacan’s formulation and development of clinical concepts especially with respect to perversion and anxiety; sublimation; the changing nature of satisfaction under capitalism and the notion of surplus jouissance; the status of science and knowledge in relation to psychoanalysis; the place of discourse, the signifier and the big Other.

This is not an introductory seminar though will be taught so as to be accessible to people
who are relatively new to Lacanian psychoanalysis.
