Punch line Amazing! Freud’s good old Ego has become the star of the net: a symptom of our times, as Lacan anticipated. Ego as symptom, delights of the ego, ego at the end of analysis… with the compass of Lacan's "Joyce-the-Symptom", these readings are necessary in a chaotic world where the Ego is campaigning to replace the Father. Presentation Issue 5 of The Lacanian Review is about to come out! It is amazing! First, because of its theme: the EGO, the self. Yes, you've read correctly! The good old Ego, which we got from Freud but which has become the star of our modernity. From selfies to social networks, it's holding forth, babbling on. It "expresses" itself unashamedly, without compunction. It opines, judges, without ever stopping watching: in short, it's become a symptom, which is what Lacan had anticipated in his Seminar XXIII by means of his clinical approach of the work of Joyce. Second, because of its contents. TLR 5 includes Lacan's conference "Joyce-the-Symptom", translated for the first time in English. With it, we publish the reading that Éric Laurent gave of it in Dublin, at the NLS Congress. And Ego-symptoms, Ego-delights, Ego at the end of analysis, without forgetting Lacanian Politics, which is more necessary than ever to orient ourselves in a chaotic world, in which the Ego is campaigning to replace the Father. The Lacanian Review is the journal of the New Lacanian School and the World Association of Psychoanalysis. Accroche Épatant! Ce bon vieil ego, qui nous vient de Freud, est devenu la star des réseaux : un symptôme de notre époque. Lacan l’avait anticipé. Ego symptôme, ego délices, ego en fin d’analyse… Une lecture lacanienne plus que jamais nécessaire pour s’orienter dans un monde chaotique où l’ego candidate pour remplacer le père. Argumentaire The Lacanian Review lance son 5e numéro : « Delights of the Ego ». Épatant ! Son thème d’abord : l’EGO, le Moi. Ce bon vieil ego, qui nous vient de Freud, est devenu la star de notre modernité. Des selfies aux réseaux sociaux, il pérore. Il s’exprime sans complexe, tranche, juge, sans cesser de se regarder : bref, il est devenu un symptôme de notre époque, ce que Lacan avait anticipé lors de son Séminaire XXIII par l’approche clinique de l’œuvre de Joyce. Son contenu aussi : TLR publie la conférence de Lacan « Joyce le Symptôme », traduite en anglais pour la première fois, accompagnée de la lecture qu’en proposait Éric Laurent au congrès de la New Lacanian School à Dublin. Ego symptôme, ego délices, ego en fin d’analyse, sans oublier la politique lacanienne plus que jamais nécessaire pour s’orienter dans un monde chaotique où l’ego candidate pour remplacer le père. The Lacanian Review est la revue de la New Lacanian School et de l’Association mondiale de psychanalyse.
