Clinical Day

Presentation

“Knowledge is not an awakening, and if we have to choose, it is more of a dream.”
J.-A. Miller, El ultimísimo Lacan, Paidós, Buenos Aires, 2012, p. 185.

At the Clinical Day of the upcoming Congress of the WAP, we will have the opportunity to investigate how the parlêtre lives in the dream of the Oedipus and how the real lives in its awakening, directing the question to what keeps the impossible in the dream itself, and to what it awakens, a horizon always present in the practice of Lacanian psychoanalysis.

In the clinic read since the last teaching of Lacan, where the revelation no longer has the same place and where the symptomatic remnants highlight the incurable - beyond the traversing of the fantasy, the lightning, the new remainder of knowledge and the subjective modification that accompanies it - there is a remnant, a remainder, a jouissance, a satisfaction that does not change.

Thus, the interpretation of dreams will no longer be a decipherment of the unconscious, because the sinthome, including in itself that which does not change, is not a formation of the unconscious, nor is it destined to lift and disappear. Only a new singular arrangement is possible upon finding that there is no Other of the Other. The only revelation will then be that object a is a cause of jouissance.

In this passage from the transferential unconscious (an unconscious felt and subject to interpretation) to the real unconscious, we find a subject that cannot awaken (otherwise than through revelation); no longer subject of the signifier or of identification, but a speaking body, where the Other is discarded and where only the primacy of reality subsists, emphasizing the parasitic dimension of the signifier itself. In this way, we are called to verify, in the use of the clinical work of the dream that we invoke, how a certain adjustment occurs between the speaking body and the unconscious.

To conclude, faced with the realization that the unconscious does not decipher, but ciphers, the Clinical Day of the next congress of the WAP, "Dream. Its Interpretation and Use in Lacanian Treatment" will be an opportunity to take stock of the future of the Freudian dream in our clinic, guided by the teachings of Jacques Lacan and Jacques-Alain Miller.
