Studying Lacan’s Seminar VII offers a contemporary, critically
informed set of analyses of Lacan’s ethics seminar and astute
reflections about what Lacan’s ethics offers to the field of
psychoanalytic thought today. The volume interrogates the seminar
with fresh voices and situated curiosities and perspectives, making
for a compellingly exciting range of explorations of the crucial
matters related to an ethics of psychoanalysis. The essays question
and tease out the paradoxes Lacan draws attention to in his seminar
of 1959-1960, and in addition, offer radical engagements with the
seminar in light of theories of racism, inequality, capitalism,
education, and subjectivity. The key elements in Lacan’s seminar
are explained, debated, and reconsidered with Antigone, das Ding,
and the inevitable “ne ceder pas sur son desir” duly unpacked,
examined, and ruminated upon. Studying Lacan’s Seminar VII will
be of interest to psychoanalytic scholars and students of Lacanian
psychoanalysis, as well as psychoanalytic therapists and analysts.
It will also be of interest to scholars and students of politics,
philosophy, and studies at the intersections of racism, film,
feminism, sociology, gender and queer theory.
Co-edited by Carol Owens, a respected author in the field of
Lacanian psychoanalysis. Offers an interdisciplinary approach to
film and psychoanalysis, with a specific focus on the context of
Covid-19 and lockdown in the UK and Ireland. Considers the long
term psycho-social-cultural implications of the transition to
online therapy and other small-screen experiences such as
entertainment consumption from a psychoanalytic perspective.
Appeals to researchers and students in a range of fields including
cultural studies, film studies, and psychoanalytic theory. Chapters
also have a clinical dimension for practicing psychoanalysts.
Taking a deep dive into contemporary Western culture, this book
suggests we are all fundamentally ambivalent beings. A great deal
has been written about how to love - to be kinder, more empathic, a
better person, and so on. But trying to love without dealing with
our ambivalence, with our hatred, is often a recipe for failure.
Any attempt, therefore, to love our neighbour as ourselves - or
even, for that matter, to love ourselves - must recognise that we
love where we hate and we hate where we love. Psychoanalysis,
beginning with Freud, has claimed that to be in two minds about
something or someone is characteristic of human subjectivity. Owens
and Swales trace the concept of ambivalence through its various
iterations in Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to
question how the contemporary subject deals with its ambivalence.
They argue that experiences of ambivalence are, in present-day
cultural life, increasingly excised or foreclosed, and that this
foreclosure has symptomatic effects at the individual as well as
social level. Owens and Swales examine ambivalence as it is at work
in mourning, in matters of sexuality, and in our enjoyment under
neoliberalism and capitalism. Above all, the authors consider how
today's ambivalent subject relates to the racially, religiously,
culturally, or sexually different neighbour as a result of the
current societal dictate of complete tolerance of the other. In
this vein, Owens and Swales argue that ambivalence about one's own
jouissance is at the very roots of xenophobia. Peppered with
relevant and stimulating examples from clinical work, film,
television, politics, and everyday life, Psychoanalysing
Ambivalence breathes new life into an old concept and will appeal
to any reader, academic, or clinician with an interest in
psychoanalytic ideas.

The second volume in the Studying Lacan's Seminars series, this
book is the first comprehensive study of Lacan's Seminar VI: Desire
and its Interpretation. A natural companion to Bruce Fink's recent
translation of the seminar into English (2019), this book offers a
genuine opportunity to delve deeply into the seminar, and a
hospitable introduction to Lacan's teachings of the 1950s. This
important book brings together various aspects of Cox Cameron's
teachings and systematic, careful, and critical readings of Seminar
VI. Lacan's theorizing and conceptualizing of the object a, the
fundamental fantasy, and aphanisis, as well as the ambiguous
treatment of the phallus in his work at the time, are all
introduced, contextualized, and explored in detail. The
trajectories of his thinking are traced in terms of future
developments and elaborations in the seminars that follow closely
on the heels of Seminar VI - Seminars VII (Ethics of
Psychoanalysis), VIII (Transference), IX (Identification), and X
(Anxiety). Consideration is also given to how certain themes and
motifs are recapitulated or reworked in his later teachings such as
in Seminars XX (Encore), and XXIII (The Sinthome). Also included in
this volume are two further essays by Cox Cameron, a most valuable
critique of the concept of the phallus in Lacan's theories of the
1950s, and an overview of Seminar VI originally presented as a
keynote address to the APW congress in Toronto 2014. The book is of
great interest to Lacanian scholars and students, as well as
psychoanalytic therapists and analysts interested in Lacan's
teachings of the 1950s and in how important concepts developed
during this period are treated in his later work.

This is the first collection of essays to offer a comprehensive
analysis of, and reflection on, the major themes emergent in
Jacques Lacan's seminars of 1955-56 and 1956-57: Seminar IV - the
object relation, and Seminar V - formations of the unconscious.
Assessing the value of a clinical approach orientated around the
question of the object lack in the contemporary clinic, the book
comprises 16 chapters which follow the development of a range of
concepts elaborated by Lacan in these seminars, including sustained
engagement with his critique of object relations theory. It
considers the effectiveness of these early ideas in clinical
practice in relation to hysteria, phobia, fetishism, obsessional
neurosis, and of the so-called "Borderline" case. Lacan's early
concepts are also subjected to critique for engagement with Queer
theory, and research in asexuality or the operation(s) of the
signifier Phallus. The chapters build to provide an invaluable
resource to interpret and evaluate Lacan's early teaching, and to
find in his early concepts a fresh utility and scope for both
clinical work and psychoanalytic research and enquiry. The book
will be of great interest to Lacanian scholars and students, as
well as psychoanalytic therapists, and analysts interested in
Lacan's early work.

Lacan did not say or write very much about the psychoanalysis of
children. There is no doctrine of the psychoanalysis of children in
his work. Instead, his 1956-1957 seminar on 'the object relation'
and his 'Note on the Child' of 1969 have been adopted by Lacanian
analysts working with children as providing essential coordinates
for direction in their clinical work. This book is the result of
inviting psychoanalysts of the Lacanian orientation working with
children around the globe to theorise and conceptualise that work.
The Lacanian psychoanalyst works with the notion of the subject as
a 'speaking being', but the child subject brings particular
exigencies to the psychoanalytic work. Contributors attend to these
exigencies in their essays by articulating the precise
particularities of the direction of the treatment and
psychoanalytic work with children.

If you want to win the battle, you must win the struggle. Say no to
the enemy. You are a winner not a loser. You may not see the
blessing in your struggle now, but with the grace of God and a made
up mind that nothing will hinder your walk with God; your struggle
will become your testimony.
We must clearly see and recognize that the God we serve is able
to see us through the most difficult situations. His love and His
grace can strengthen us to walk through the storms of life despite
the struggles of life.
There is a bright side coming. There is a good ending. Struggles
don t have to bury us. They don t have to steal our joy. We can
take one day at a time and see the beauty that it brings ... hidden
somewhere between the struggle ... there is a ray of sunshine.
Your greatest troubles can become your greatest triumphs. Losing
the fight is not an option. Don t say you can t because you can You
can make it through the struggle
KJ is a 10 year-old boy who has gone to live with his grandparents
after his family has been torn apart by domestic violence.
Grief-stricken and traumatised he is unable to talk about what he
has seen until an unexpected turn of events makes him realise that
there is something he can do to salvage what is left of his family
- if only he can find a way to talk about it. Eventually KJ is able
to begin to tell his story by drawing a series of pictures and the
surprise arrival of another family member strengthens his resolve
to do whatever he can to bring his family back together - but will
it be in time for Christmas?
This book locates internally focused, critical perspectives
regarding the social, political, emotional, and mental growth of
children. Through the radical openness afforded by psychoanalytic
and related frameworks, the goal of this volume is to illuminate,
promote, and help situate subjectivities that are often blotted out
for both the child and society. Developmental and linear
assumptions and hegemonies are called into question. Chapters
address the challenges involved in working with children who have
experienced traumas of dis-location that do not fit neatly into
normative theories of development The emphasis is on motifs of
lostness and foundness, in terms of the geographies of the
psycho-social, and how such motifs govern and regulate what have
come to count as the normative indexes of childhood as well as how
they exclude other real childhoods. What is 'lost' in childhood
finds its way into narratives of loss in adult functioning and
these narratives are of interest since they allow us to re-theorize
ideas of child, family, and society. To that end, these essays
focus in and on dissociated places and moments across varied
childhood(s).
In eighteenth-century America, information about a woman's life and
accomplishments was very difficult to discover, but some woman were
avid letter writers or devoted journal keepers, and thankfully some
of those letters and journals were saved. These woman include Mary
Gray Bidwell, a quiet country woman who had a front row seat on the
war and the formation of the new nation. Elizabeth Edwards Burr
whose husband founded Princeton University and her son was the
second Vice President of the United States (and tried for treason).
Lavinia Deane Fisk, widowed during the Revolutionary War, her
second marriage triggered a fire storm that led to a revolutionary
war in the Congregational Church. The Widow Bingham who fought to
live as a man becoming the first woman to have a tavern license,
build a business substantial enough to send her son to college and
serve on formerly all-male civic committees. Abigail Williams
Sergeant Dwight, a Tory: the story of the Royalists during the War
is not often told. The war years changed the lives of each of these
women and perhaps their lives changed our new country.
