Dear colleagues and friends of the London Society,
Two of the main themes we’ll be working on during 2021-2022 are the theme of next year’s NLS congress, Fixation and Repetition, and the theme of the Great International Online Conversation of the World Association of Psychoanalysis, “Woman does not exist”. As part of our preparations, we are organising an online reading of Lacan’s Seminar XX, Encore, details of which will be revealed soon!
We are encouraging everyone to form cartels on the above themes so that you can actively participate in their development by pursuing your own questions.
There are many resources available already so that you can start thinking about the question you might wish to pursue:
Find the argument of the NLS congress, by Alexandre Stevens, President of the NLS, here: https://www.amp-nls.org/nls-messager/towards-the-nls-congress-2022-argument/ and on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/7XZ73C22AeQ
The argument for the WAP’s International Conversation, by Christiane Alberti, chair of the “Grandes Assises”, is available in print and video form here: https://www.grandesassisesamp2022.com/en/la-femme-nexiste-pas-2/
For further assistance with cartel work, please contact the LS members responsible for cartels: Sophia Berouka, [email protected] & Oriol Cobacho, [email protected]
We look forward to a rich year of work around these exciting themes!
The Bureau of the London Society
