Join Our Winter Series on TELEVISION!
Join us for an in-depth study of Jacques Lacan’s famous 1973 interview with Jacques-Alain Miller, aptly named for the medium in which it first appeared:
Whether you’re new to Lacanian psychoanalysis or eager to deepen your understanding of Lacan’s later teaching, this lecture and discussion series promises to hit the mark, with ample introductory material and just as much advanced clinical and conceptual nuance.
In addition to sharing weekly recorded lectures with all registered participants, I’ll be hosting two online discussions in this winter series — and maybe a third if the spirit moves us! As always, our goal will be to make this key text in Lacanian psychoanalysis clear, coherent, and accessible to all.

Why did the worker bring a ladder to the bar?
Because he heard the drinks were on the house, and he wanted to seize the means of consumption!
Hahahaha — I love this! There’s no better testament to what Lacan is up to here than a good joke. Lo! The laughter of the saint!
