Syllabus:

To prepare for the seminar, become familiar with the orienting texts below.

• Assef, Jorge. The Pass and the End of Analysis, via Lacan Circle of Australia.
• Lacan, Jacques. There are Four Discourses, in Culture Clinic 1.

We will host digital events (i.e., Zoom meetings) where some of these texts will be discussed before the Linking Seminar. In future emails, more info on when those will be held will come out.

Guest Speaker:

This year, we will welcome Isolda Alvarez, who attended our linking seminar last year.

The idea for this year's Linking Seminar came to me as an image and two signifiers. The image was a Mobius strip, with the word clinic written on one side of the strip and the word school written on the other side.

The seminar will focus on the link between our work in the clinic, our work within the school, and the Freudian field more broadly.

More specifically, we will focus on formulating and constructing a case as a point where our work in the clinic and the school come together.

Location:

The event is being held at The Garrett Seminary on the campus of Northwestern University.

The address of the building we will be in is:

2121 Sheridan Rd Evanston IL 60201

Room: 205 (upstairs)

Cost:

This is the third year of organizing this event, and like everything, the costs have increased over the past two years. The current EARLY REGISTRATION fee is $80.00.

The early registration fee is valid until 9/15. After that date, it will increase to $100.00.

I am offering a $10.00 STUDENT DISCOUNT, which brings the cost down to $70.00 during the early registration period and $90.00 if it is used after 9/15.

To use this discount, you will need a promo code, which you can get by emailing me at [email protected] or clicking the button below.
