LECTURE: About Transference: Singularities in the World of Globalization

Lacan’s teaching in psychoanalysis is well known to have put on stage the structure of language of the Freudian Unconscious. But that one is already a result of transference, without which there is no possibility to approach it. Who know that, through the subject supposed to know, can orientate himself towards the impossible to say, one of Lacan’s way to indicate what he calls the Real. These ways lead to the singularity of the subject, and there is a special stake here about, at the age of universalisation and globalization. It is worthwhile on that point to get a know-how on what is transference, one of the four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis according to Lacan.

SEMINAR: Uses of Transference in the Analytic Experience

Transference first appears as an obstacle in the course of free association, as a silence in the middle of the speech, full of passion, but also full of the presence of the analyst. The usual ways of its interpretation through repetition are wrong ones according to Lacan. The right one is much more the link between love and knowledge, that is to say, between the subject supposed to know and the part of jouissance responding to the emptiness of the subject. Through that, and with the analyst, transference indicates the stakes of what has to be the analyst to do with the real included in the symptom.

Session 1: The encounter of love in the analytic experience
The encounter with love as an obstacle in the well-known Freudian way to transference, his second discovery after the unconscious. But it is worthwhile not to mislead here: there is no unconscious without transference, and love is both a true one and a deceptive way, even if it is impossible not to follow it.

Session 2: What is the subject supposed to know?
The subject supposed to know is a lacanian concept, a key point of transference. It seems both easy to understand and full of contradictions. The main point is that it is centered by a hole, where the supposition comes and with which the analyst ought to find its place, without identifying to it, as the analysand does.

Session 3: The links between knowledge and jouissance through the experience of transference
With the subject supposed to know, transference allows to develop unconscious as knowledge where something is always wanting. That is the reason why there is there a way to what Lacan called his object (a), as a jouissance without which nothing of these constructions would be consistent and linked to the real. That is the stake of the analytical clinics.

Session 4: Destiny of transference at the end of the treatment
The end of the analytical experience is usually associated with a term as « liquidation of transference ». Is there no more transference at the end of treatment? It is more contradictory; it depends of the destiny of the symptom. So what is the matter here?
