The Lacanian Review (TLR) takes Lacan's proposition that we wake up in order to continue dreaming, with eyes wide open. What wakes us up? The Nightmare. With new translations of Jacques Lacan and Jacques-Alain Miller, TLR explores how psychoanalysis maps the oscillation between asleep and awake that jolts our social and political circadian rhythms. What is the function of the dream now in analytic practice, in cultural production, and in the global nightmare that confronts us everyday when we wake up? The upcoming year marks the 120th anniversary of the dream as royal road of the unconscious. Through dreams, fragments of speech are cobbled together to construct a superhighway of signifying overpasses, byways, and detours around what remains "off-the-grid," unspeakable. Yet the horror of the dream appears as the nightmare which makes our bodies bolt upright in bed. If the Freudian dream was paved with fictions of desire, the Lacanian nightmare returns us to the real of the drive, the impossibility to see, with eyes open or closed. Today we encounter contemporary life just as fragmented and terrifying as the nightmare that dreams always cloaked. In this issue, Jacques-Alain Miller highlights the lost object of language, revealing the topology of holes in dreams. A new translation of Jacques Lacan leads us to a moment of awakening via the dream of psychoanalysis. Éric Laurent orients the axes of interpretation that guide contemporary clinical practice. Analysts of the School put nightmares to work. Following testimonies of the pass, Marie-Hélène Brousse returns to the real that does not stop being written through the dream-principle of the unconscious. And as the artist precedes the analyst in their knowledge of the unconscious, TLR presents a dialogue with the poet, Kenneth Goldsmith and artist, Cheryl Donegan, who follow a metonymical drift between the dream of art making and the nightmare of art in the world.

Standing orders welcome! About the Journal: The Lacanian Review (TLR) aims to support the formation of analysts and stimulate dialogue among and beyond the Schools of the WAP. Through the publication of several distinct modes of psychoanalytic writing, TLR addresses different aspects of the orientation of the WAP: - ORIENTATION: texts by Jacques Lacan, Jacques-Alain Miller, and authors of the Freudian Field that orient our research. -THEMATIC FOCUS: crucial contemporary problems and symptoms that are ciphered through the analytic experience. - DIALOGUES: interviews which engage discourses outside of psychoanalysis - science, art, university and politics. -FORMATIONS OF THE ANALYST: writings that demonstrate the position of analytic training in the Lacanian Orientation of the WAP, which is always marked by a singularity that distinguishes it from training in other psychoanalytic groups. -THE PASS: testimonies of the pass, one of the "two lungs" of the School, transmit a reduction of the singular results of each analysis, presented by analysts that choose to undergo this procedure. -SUPERVISION/CONTROL: texts on the uses of supervision as a crucial support for the efforts of the analyst in the analytic experience. -CARTELS: texts produced from the work of the Cartels of the NLS. The Cartel, as a mode of psychoanalytic inquiry invented by Lacan, allows each of its members to produce a modification in relation to analytic knowledge. -NLS & WAP CONGRESSES: topics and papers from the annual Congresses of the NLS and WAP, which include clinical case constructions and theoretical elaborations. We hope our readers will gain some knowledge about the Lacanian Orientation and that these texts will provoke questions and stimulate one's own desire for psychoanalysis. |
