19.01.2022 For the Freudian paraphernalia collector who isn't freaked out by wearing Sigmund Freud's face, twice, on their shirt cuffs, and isn't aghast that somebody, somewhere, thought these would be a good thing to manufacture and make available to consumers. Made in USA.

18.01.2022 Sigmund Freud's hand written envelope to his nephew in New York. Edward (Eddie) Louis Bernays Publicity Direction 19 East 48th Street... New York USA Eddie was Sigmund's nephew twice: Eddie's mother was Sigmund's sister, and Eddie's father was Martha's brother. Eddie became the "Father of Public Relations" during the 20th century; he coined the term, published books such as "Propaganda" and "The Engineering of Consent", established the spin industry, cited his uncle's name often and died enormously wealthy. Freud didn't like Eddie, or America. Both men appear in Life Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of the Twentieth Century. Eddie's mother Anna was the only one of Freud's sisters to survive the Holocaust, having left Vienna for New York in 1892. Eddie saw his last client in Massachusetts in 1995, charged them $1000 per hour, and died two days later. He was 103.

"Sex All Over The Place" Audio in English, including: The question of sex and sexuality is a clinical question, many dimensions of which we are very familiar with, but also there is a profound discursive reconfiguration going on.

16.01.2022 Cover Art... The Lacanian Review Issue #9 Spring 2020... Still Life? Inside, from Jacques Lacan: During this thing called a lecture, I'll try to give you a feeling of the extent to which I don't believe in nature. Would that I could experience nature... Unfortunately, seeing that I'm an analyst, it's completely impossible for me to believe in it. Lecture delivered in 1974 Translated by Dan Collins https://lacancircle.com.au/the-lacanian-review/
15.01.2022 The joke which is equivocal "provides the model for the right analytical interpretation" says Lacan. "It is the only weapon one has against the sinthome." It is not to add another layer of meaning, it is rather a "saying that has no meaning" as a means of touching the irreducible marks of jouissance. ... Anny Lysy What Words, What Body?

14.01.2022 Lacan Circle's irregular series of psychoanalytically inspired tattoos continues with this Very Scary Freud on what might be a male knee... It is the work of French tattoo artist Victor Kludge, and was added to a Melburnian body during his guest residency here (Melbourne is LCA's home town) during 2016. Our calculations of population versus probability, and likeliness for coincidences to occur versus retrospective certainty they were going to suggests that a newly un-locked... Melburnian Lacanian (our hospitality sector reopens in a week) might soon see this Very Scary Freud gazing out at them from under a restaurant table... Allow your shock to subside, finish your meal, pause until the body attached to the knee appears unoccupied by more important matters and approach the speaking part of said body. Explain your connection to LCA, explain yourself, and ask if you could please take a pic because coincidences like this don't happen everyday and the moment calls for commemorating. Then send it to us so we can all agree. Many thanks, LCA.
13.01.2022 "I'm here for my parents" By Tute
12.01.2022 James Beaumont Strachey Translator and editor of Sigmund Freud Photographed by his wife Alix Strachey, who was those things too. James was one of 13 children, born when his mother and father were 47 and 70 respectively. He followed his older brother Lytton to Cambridge, occupying the latter's room, and became known as "Little Strachey" to Lytton's "Great Strachey."... Both Stracheys were part of the Bloomsbury Group (along with Alix) whose members Virginia and Leonard Woolf would later establish The Hogarth Press, which would later publish James' translations of Freud, and still do. James was psychoanalysed by Freud, loved by Freud, looked rather like Freud (or was, according to Michael Holroyd, "almost an exact replica of Freud himself") and remains his master translator. James Beaumont Strachey died in Buckinghamshire, England, in 1967. He was 80. Vale.
11.01.2022 Psychoanalysis is in essence a cure through love Sigmund Freud
11.01.2022 The patient does not say that he remembers that he used to be defiant and critical towards his parents’ authority; instead, he behaves in that way to the doctor. He does not remember how he came to a helpless and hopeless deadlock in his infantile sexual researches; but he produces a mass of confused dreams and associations, complains that he cannot succeed in anything and asserts that he is fated never to carry through what he undertakes. He does not remember having been i...ntensely ashamed of certain sexual activities and afraid of their being found out; but he makes it clear that he is ashamed of the treatment on which he is now embarked and tries to keep it secret from everybody. And so on. Sigmund Freud Remembering, Repeating and Working Through lacancircle.com.au/introduction-seminar-freud/ Art by yofokuro
11.01.2022 The alternating in the history of tattooing between agalma and palea reveals the double face of the signifier as a real Janus. The tattoo has always been a sign of inclusion, which concerns the signifier and its symbolic inscription, and a sign of exclusion, which concerns the signifier as an indelible mark of jouissance. In a time of a decline of the Name of the Father and the great Ideals, the modern subject has to invent other practices in order to regulate his identity an...d his jouissance. The revival of the tattoo in its double function is thus not so astonishing. Luc Vander Vennet 2016
10.01.2022 Femicide is defined in different ways and its scope is a subject of debate within the feminist movement itself because it calls into question who is included in the group of women. As of 2018, it is being portrayed as the murder of a woman at the hands of a man due to machismo or misogyny. It is taken as a manifestation of hatred and contempt towards women, as a male vindication, or a mechanism of control and power over women.... The question arises as to why some women stay with men who abuse them and may even kill them. We are far from the myth of "women's masochism." Their suffering is real, and the subjective reasons why women are trapped in relationships that hurt them are not of a masochistic nature. Femicides Silvia Elena Tendlarz The Lacanian Review Online

08.01.2022 Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz Picasso. He was born today in 1881. His father was a professor of drawing. He had his first art exhibition at 13.... He arrived in Paris at 19 years old. He held his first Parisian exhibition at 20 years old. He went on to make more than 50,000 paintings. He painted a lot of women and had tumultuous affairs with many; two of them including his second wife committed suicide. His grand-daughter wrote in her memoir "He submitted them to his animal sexuality, tamed them, bewitched them, ingested them, and crushed them onto his canvas. After he had spent many nights extracting their essence, once they were bled dry, he would dispose of them." He lived to be 92 and died from heart failure during a dinner party. His wife banned two of his children and their children from attending the funeral; his grandson Pablito Picasso drank bleach in response and three months later died. He painted Guernica. He painted Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. He painted The Weeping Woman. Pablo Picasso 25 October 1881 - 8 April 1973 Vale.
07.01.2022 The transference of the signified, so essential to human life, is possible only by virtue of the structure of the signifier. Jacques Lacan Seminar III Art by Gilbert Garcin
07.01.2022 Roman bronze 2nd century sculpture of a hand that could hold an egg; too tightly and it breaks - too lightly and it slips away. This was Sigmund Freud's.
07.01.2022 Sigmund Freud's writing desk with some of his oh-so-loved antiquities, his oh-so-numerous ash-trays, and his oh-so-necessary high-plus-script glasses. All of these objects are on display in his late-in-life English home; now the Freud Museum London. Recently re-opened after a large renovation and a long lock-down. ... Go.

03.01.2022 Cover Art... Alenka Zupani What Is Sex? 2017... From the back cover: Consider sublimation - conventionally understood as a substitute satisfaction for missing sexual satisfaction. But what if, as Lacan claims, we can get exactly the same satisfaction that we get from sex by talking (or writing, painting, praying or other activities)? The point is not to explain that the satisfaction we get from talking comes from its sexual origin, but rather to understand that the satisfaction from talking is itself sexual. Indeed, the satisfaction afforded by talking contains a key to sexual satisfaction (and not the other way around) even a key to sexuality itself and its inherent contradictions... mitpress.mit.edu/books/what-sex
