Another Disorder
Laure Naveau
Argument
Because psychoanalysis accompanies
the subject in what raises itself in
protest against the discontents of
civilisation, the disorder with which
psychoanalysis is concerned is political.
How are we
proposition?
to
interpret
this
strategic
offer
of
Lacanian
st
psychoanalysis for the 21 century, to
the extent that psychoanalysis offers the
subtlety and refinement of a real that
will allow it to survive.
To provisionally conclude, I would say
that if, as indicated by JAM in 1998,
Lacanian politics is the concern that we
have, today and tomorrow, for
psychoanalysis he already invited us
not to forget the phrase that Lacan
spoke at the moment of the 1953 split in
the IPA: The moron [dbile] subjected
to a psychoanalysis, always becomes a
knave [canaille]. As we know.
Goosebumps
Josefa Rodriguez
"Goosebumps" is the title of the striking
Psychoanalysis as an incomplete
knowledge- constitutes an indispensable
tool for reflecting about the social; but it
is also a clinical device where, from the
place of subjective responsibility, the
way in which each subject, one by one,
responds to malaise, to unconscious
desire and to jouissance, can be listened
to and treated. This is not outside of
social and cultural connotations, but
gives the possibility of doing something
with that deadly jouissance, especially
in those cases where desire cannot be
oriented within a signifying chain. This
in times where the subject, in the
absence of the structuring law of the
father, will be forced to find other ways
of knotting, other modes of orientation
that may have a similar result to that of
the operation of the name of the father,
thanks to the function of the desire of
the analyst, as a desire to get to the real
stripped of meaning.
The Lacanian orientation proposes to us
an effort for poetry. If "Goosebumps"
turned out to be a an extreme and
disturbing creative experience that
anguish names in its real, it was a poem
by the artist -written on the wall- that
acted as a frame to allow me finish that
lonely journey in a Museum at two
o'clock in the afternoon on a grey
Sunday:
I paint my mouth with mourning,
So that they know I am alone
So that someone might perhaps
Kiss my sadness.

More than any other branch of science,
quantum mechanics represented the
breakup between the experiences of the
senses, with the traditional certainties of
its field, having shaken some
methodological foundations.
Where is the starting point? Formulated
in 1900, by the German physicist Max
Planck, Quanta theory asserts that the
emission
and
absorption
of
electromagnetic energy by bodies is
made through fixed quantities or
continuous packages of energy and
not through uniform distribution of
energy by waves. In 1911, the atomic
nucleus was discovered by the Briton,
Rutherford, followed by the creation of
the atomic model, the basis of modern
nuclear physics: electrons in orbit
around the nucleus, such as a miniature
solar system. It was considered entirely
absurd
and
irrational,
because,
according Newtonian physics, the
electron, as it turns, would lose energy,
and would eventually fall into the
nucleus. However, in 1923, Bohr, who
knew the quanta of Max Planck,
studied the electrons and found a
solution to the problem. In Bohrs
model, the electrons jump randomly
from one orbit to another, and,
according to what the theory teaches
you to calculate, the probability of
losing energy is zero. Thanks to this, the
atoms stay intact. Therefore, there come
into play jumps that are entirely
random.
In many ways quantum mechanics
proved subversive. It became clear, for
example, that the very process of
observing phenomena on the subatomic
level, actually, modified them. One
researcher that was conducting a
detailed investigation to find where
