The Reading Group
The idea for the Lacan Reading Group stems from an initial collaboration between Richard Dumbrill (Iconea Director), Julia Evans (Lacanian Analyst and a member of the EuroFederation of Psychoanalysis), and Bruno de Florence (musicologist and Iconea Fellow). We are grateful for the support given by both Iconea (www.iconea.org) and the Institute of Musical Research (www.music.sas.ac.uk).
Aim and process for reading Seminar VII: Ethics
The English translation of Jacques Lacan’s text will be read by the group during sessions. Group members will be encouraged to contribute to the discussion of ideas, the examination of the context and Jacques Lacan’s references, and invitations will be extended to them and others, with intersecting interests (such as linguistics, mathematics, philosophy, topology, semiotics, Semitic languages, etc…) to join us in discussions. It is hoped that a body of notes will emerge.
