Cartels

 

What is the cartel?
Within the school of Psychoanalysis, Jaques Lacan proposed the cartel as a small working group of four to five and ‘Plus One’ who was chosen to support the group effort. The cartel objective is to encourage each member to actively participate in the praxis of psychoanalysis, namely the possibility of each member’s unique experience would contribute to a genuine ‘work transference’.
The International cartels of the School
Cartels are defined as intercontinental and bilingual. Its aim is to promote new and multiple links for work on psychoanalysis in intension, as the base level of the School. This network, will find a space where the cartel work can find new resonance, through a newsletter, conferences, inter-cartel activities, and other forms to be invented.
