About the Event
Names of ready-made identities borrowed from everyday discourse, names of diagnoses, names of communities and even communities of jouissance: our times are full of the practice of naming, renaming and even over-naming.
How can Lacanian psychoanalysis read this contemporary slope, which affects the relationship to speech and self-representation, but insofar as the symbolic itself seems contaminated by the imaginary realm?
And what are the points of encounter and differentiation with the use of nomination in treatment and, above all, at the end of analysis?
