The New York Freud Lacan Analytic Group (NYFLAG)
invites you to a Seminar
"The Real Politics of the Body"
Guest Speaker: Prof.Thomas Svolos, Creighton University, Omaha

  • The Body Politic
  • More, More, More Addiction
  • The Psychoanalytic Soapbox

The 21st century body is no longer the body of a century or a half century ago–something has changed in the ways in which people relate to or experience their bodies today and the ways they describe this to those around them, including a psychoanalyst. 
For this Seminar, I want to say something about the Lacanian approach to the body.  This will be grounded in some classical notions of the body as imaginary body and even the symbolic body, but with a focus more on the body as real, as an event of the real.  Lacan, famously known for his linguistic formulations about the unconscious as structured like a language, left us, in his final years, with a novel set of formulations that perhaps seemed bizarre at the time, but, in retrospect, were prescient mappings of our world now.  
The symptom is no longer a metaphor, but a body event.  The real is somehow more present, including in its reverberations on the body.  
Drawing from recent work of Jacques-Alain Miller, we will explore how psychoanalysis may change to respond to this new world of the body.

On June 21, 1964 Jacques Lacan founded his School of Psychoanalysis with the aim of assuring the formation of psychoanalysts, the transmission of psychoanalysis, and the re-conquering of the Freudian Field. The New Lacanian School (NLS), created in 2003 by Jacques-Alain Miller, is one of seven Schools founded within the framework of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP). The NLS is a member of the EuroFederation of Psychoanalysis (EFP) that regroups the four European Schools of psychoanalysis oriented by Freud and Lacan’s teachings.
