Seminar of Moustafa Safouan

Thanks to Safouan, we rediscover the link between Lacan's concept of Jouissance and Freud's death drive, between the signifier and Freud's unconscious, and between Freud's concept of transference and Lacan's controversial views on the end of analysis. Neither a follower nor a detractor, Safouan is a "Lacanian" who knows how to keep his distance.Anna Shane is a practicing psychoanalysis in Berkeley, California. She is an editor for the Journal of European Psychoanalysis, and Re-Turn: A Journal of Lacanian Psychoanalysis. She edits The Other, the journal of the San Francisco Society for Lacanian Studies.
