Jacques Marie ?mile Lacan (French: [?ak lak??], 13 April 1901 – 9 September 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who has been called the most controversial psycho-analyst since Freud. Giving yearly seminars in Paris from 1953 to 1981, Lacan influenced many leading French intellectuals in the 1960s and the 1970s, especially those associated with poststructuralism. His ideas had a significant impact on critical theory, literary theory, 20th-century French philosophy, sociology, feminist theory, film theory and clinical psychoanalysis.
Biography,Early lifeLacan was born in Paris, the eldest of Emilie and Alfred Lacans three children. His father was a successful soap and oils salesman. His mother was ardently Catholic – his younger brother went to a monastery in 1929 and Lacan attended the College Stanislas between 1907 and 1918. During the early 1920s, Lacan attended right-wing Action Francaise political meetings, of which he would later be highly critical, and met the founder, Charles Maurras. By the mid-1920s, Lacan had become dissatisfied with religion and became an atheist. He quarreled with his family over this issue.In 1920, after being rejected for military service on the grounds that he was too thin, Lacan entered medical school. Between 1927 and 1931, after completing his studies at the faculty of medicine of the University of Paris, he specialised in psychiatry at the Sainte-Anne Hospital (Centre hospitalier Sainte-Anne (fr)) in Paris under the direction of Gaetan Gatian de Clerambault. During that period, he was especially interested in the philosophies of Karl Jaspers and Martin Heidegger and attended the seminars about Hegel given by Alexandre Kojeve.1930sIn 1932, after a second year at Saint Annes Clinique de Maladies Mentales et de lEncephale, Lacan became a licensed forensic psychiatrist. In 1932 he was awarded the Diplome dEtat de docteur en medecine (fr) (roughly equivalent to an M.D. degree) for his thesis On Paranoiac Psychosis in its Relations to the Personality (De la Psychose paranoiaque dans ses rapports avec la personnalite suivi de Premiers ecrits sur la paranoia, Paris: Editions du Seuil, 1975). It had a limited reception in the 1930s because it was not published until four decades later, but it did find acclaim,[citation needed] especially by surrealist artists. This thesis is thought to mark Lacans entry into psychoanalysis. It shows Lacan’s dissatisfaction with traditional psychiatry and the growing influence of Sigmund Freud on his works. ‘Paranoid Psychosis and its Relation to the Personality’ was based on observations of several patients with a primary focus on one female patient whom Lacan called Aimee.[11] Also in 1932, Lacan translated Freuds 1922 text, Uber einige neurotische Mechanismen bei Eifersucht, Paranoia und Homosexualitat (Some Neurotic Mechanisms in Jealousy, Paranoia and Homosexuality) as De quelques mecanismes nevrotiques dans la jalousie, la paranoia et lhomosexualite (On some neurotic mechanisms in jealousy, paranoia and homosexuality). It was published in the Revue francaise de psychanalyse. In Autumn of that same year, Lacan began his training analysis with Rudolph Lowenstein, which was to last until 1938.[12]Two years later Lacan was elected to the Societe psychanalytique de Paris. In January 1934 he married Marie-Louise Blondin, and in January 1937 they had their first child, a daughter named Caroline. Their second child, a son named Thibaut, was born in August 1939.In 1936, Lacan presented his first analytic report at the Congress of the International Psychoanalytical Association in Marienbad on the Mirror Phase. The congress chairman, Ernest Jones, terminated the lecture before its conclusion, since he was unwilling to extend Lacans stated presentation time. Insulted, Lacan left the congress to witness the Berlin Olympic Games. No copy of the original lecture remains.[13]Lacan was an active intellectual of the inter-war period—he was associated with Andre Breton, Georges Bataille, Salvador Dali, and Pablo Picasso.[citation needed] He attended the mouvement Psyche that Maryse Choisy founded. He published in the Surrealist journal Minotaure and attended the first public reading of James Joyces Ulysses. [Lacans] interest in surrealism predated his interest in psychoanalysis, Dylan Evans explains, speculating that perhaps Lacan never really abandoned his early surrealist sympathies, its neo-Romantic view of madness as convulsive beauty, its celebration of irrationality, and its hostility to the scientist who murders nature by dissecting it.[14] Others would agree that the importance of surrealism can hardly be over-stated… to the young Lacan… [who] also shared the surrealists taste for scandal and provocation, and viewed provocation as an important element in psycho-analysis itself.[15]1940sThe Societe Psychanalytique de Paris (SPP) was disbanded due to Nazi Germanys occupation of France in 1940. Lacan was called up to serve in the French army at the Val-de-Grace military hospital in Paris, where he spent the duration of the war. His third child, Sibylle, was born in 1940.The following year, Lacan fathered a child, Judith (who kept the name Bataille), with Sylvia Bataille (nee Makles), the estranged wife of his friend Georges Bataille. There are contradictory accounts of his romantic life with Sylvia in southern France during the war. The official record shows only that Marie-Louise requested divorce after Judiths birth and that Lacan married Sylvia in 1953.After the war, the SPP recommenced their meetings. Lacan visited England for a five-week study trip, where he met the English analysts Wilfred Bion and John Rickman. Bions analytic work with groups influenced Lacan, contributing to his own subsequent emphasis on study groups as a structure within which to advance theoretical work in psychoanalysis. In 1949, Lacan presented a new paper on the mirror stage to the sixteenth IPA congress in Zurich.1950sIn 1951, Lacan started to hold a private weekly seminar in Paris, in which he urged what he described as a return to Freud that would concentrate on the linguistic nature of psychological symptomatology. Becoming public in 1953, Lacans 27-year-long seminar was highly influential in Parisian cultural life, as well as in psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice.In 1953, after a disagreement over the variable-length session, Lacan and many of his colleagues left the Societe Parisienne de Psychanalyse to form a new group, the Societe Francaise de Psychanalyse (SFP). One consequence of this was to deprive the new group of membership within the International Psychoanalytical Association.Encouraged by the reception of the return to Freud and of his report The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis, Lacan began to re-read Freuds works in relation to contemporary philosophy, linguistics, ethnology, biology, and topology. From 1953 to 1964 at the Sainte-Anne Hospital, he held his Seminars and presented case histories of patients. During this period he wrote the texts that are found in the collection Ecrits, which was first published in 1966. In his seventh Seminar The Ethics of Psychoanalysis (1959–60), Lacan defined the ethical foundations of psychoanalysis and presented his ethics for our time—one that would, in the words of Freud, prove to be equal to the tragedy of modern man and to the discontent of civilization. At the roots of the ethics is desire: analysis only promise is austere, it is the entrance-into-the-I (in French a play on words between lentree en je and lentree en jeu). I must come to the place where the id was, where the analysand discovers, in its absolute nakedness, the truth of his desire. The end of psychoanalysis entails the purification of desire. This text formed the foundation of Lacans work for the subsequent years.[citation needed] He defended three assertions: that psychoanalysis must have a scientific status, that Freudian ideas have radically changed the concepts of subject, of knowledge, and of desire, and that the analytic field is the only place from which it is possible to question the insufficiencies of science and philosophy.[16]1960sStarting in 1962, a complex negotiation took place to determine the status of the SFP within the IPA. Lacans practice (with its controversial indeterminate-length sessions) and his critical stance towards psychoanalytic orthodoxy led, in August 1963, to the IPA setting the condition that registration of the SFP was dependent upon the removal of Lacan from the list of SFP analysts.[17] With the SFPs decision to honour this request in November 1963, Lacan had effectively been stripped of the right to conduct training analyses and thus was constrained to form his own institution in order to accommodate the many candidates who desired to continue their analyses with him. This he did, on 21 June 1964, in the Founding Act[18] of what became known as the Ecole Freudienne de Paris (EFP), taking many representatives of the third generation with him: among them were Maud and Octave Mannoni, Serge Leclaire … and Jean Clavreul.[19]With the support of Claude Levi-Strauss and Louis Althusser, Lacan was appointed lecturer at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes. He started with a seminar on The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis in January 1964 in the Dussane room at the Ecole Normale Superieure. Lacan began to set forth his own approach to psychoanalysis to an audience of colleagues that had joined him from the SFP. His lectures also attracted many of the Ecole Normales students. He divided the Ecole freudienne de Paris into three sections: the section of pure psychoanalysis (training and elaboration of the theory, where members who have been analyzed but have not become analysts can participate), the section for applied psychoanalysis (therapeutic and clinical, physicians who either have not started or have not yet completed analysis are welcome), and the section for taking inventory of the Freudian field (concerning the critique of psychoanalytic literature and the analysis of the theoretical relations with related or affiliated sciences).[20] In 1967 he invented the procedure of the Pass, which was added to the statutes after being voted in by the members of the EFP the following year.1966 saw the publication of Lacans collected writings, the Ecrits, compiled with an index of concepts by Jacques-Alain Miller. Printed by the prestigious publishing house Editions du Seuil, the Ecrits did much to establish Lacans reputation to a wider public. The success of the publication led to a subsequent two-volume edition in 1969.By the 1960s, Lacan was associated, at least in the public mind, with the far left in France.[21] In May 1968, Lacan voiced his sympathy for the student protests and as a corollary his followers set up a Department of Psychology at the University of Vincennes (Paris VIII). However, Lacans unequivocal comments in 1971 on revolutionary ideals in politics draw a sharp line between the actions of some of his followers and his own style of revolt.[22]In 1969, Lacan moved his public seminars to the Faculte de Droit (Pantheon), where he continued to deliver his expositions of analytic theory and practice until the dissolution of his School in 1980.1970sThroughout the final decade of his life, Lacan continued his widely followed seminars. During this period, he developed his concepts of masculine and feminine jouissance and placed an increased emphasis on the concept of the Real as a point of impossible contradiction in the Symbolic order. Lacan continued to draw widely on various disciplines, working closely on classical Chinese literature with Francois Cheng[23] and on the life and work of James Joyce with Jacques Aubert.[24] The growing success of the Ecrits, which was translated (in abridged form) into German and English, led to invitations to lecture in Italy, Japan and the United States. He gave lectures in 1975 at Yale, Columbia and MIT.[25]Last yearsLacans failing health made it difficult for him to meet the demands of the year-long Seminars he had been delivering since the fifties, but his teaching continued into the first year of the eighties. After dissolving his School, the EFP, in January 1980,[26] Lacan travelled to Caracas to found the Freudian Field Institute on 12 July.[27]The Overture to the Caracas Encounter was to be Lacans final public address. His last texts from the spring of 1981 are brief institutional documents pertaining to the newly formed Freudian Field Institute.Lacan died on 9 September 1981.
