International Lacan Seminar with Bernard Nominee

Bernard Nominee

When

Lacan and the voice object: the voice object and the structure of language

This seminar will examine the Freudian references that led Lacan to isolate the voice as an object at the heart of the Other’s speech, without however being able to respond to it. It will then examine the pace of this object in the structure of language from the perspective of Borromean theory. Clinical consequences will be deduced.
