From Illiteracy to Literature presents innovative material based on research with ‘non-reading’ children and re-examines the complex relationship between psychoanalysis and literature, through the lens of the psychical significance of reading: the forgotten adventure of our coming to reading. Anne-Marie Picard draws on two specific fields of interest: firstly the wish to understand the nature of literariness or the "literary effect", i.e. the pleasures (and frustrations) we derive from reading; secondly research on reading pathologies carried out at St Anne’s Hospital, Paris. The author uses clinical observations of non-reading children to answer literary questions about the reading ex...
The Baby and the Drive presents a new reading of psychoanalytic drive theory, as well as offering clinical tools for early identification of difficulties and intervention with babies and their parents. This volume demonstrates that the concept of the drive is the crucial factor in early life. The drive is presented as a force with pathways that are established in the newborn’s psychic development. Four drive fields are distinguished, which are activated during the first year, and the volume examines the points at which they may encounter difficulties and how these difficulties may be treated. The Baby and the Drive explains that access to the drives and their activation orients work with the newborn—an operation at once fundamental and indispensable if researchers accept the existence of a subject in the newborn. Allowing a new orientation in work with newborns and infants, this volume will be a valuable resource for academics, scholars, and students of Lacanian studies and Lacanian analysis. It will also be of great interest to Lacanian psychologists and Lacanian psychoanalysts in practice and in training.

Entre le début et la fin du XXe siècle, des bouleversements profonds sont intervenus dans le mode de vie des Pussayens. Autrefois, d'importantes manufactures lainières animaient et faisaient vivre la cité et ses environs. Après un essor remarquable dans la première moitié du siècle, elles ont peu à peu décliné et fermé dans la seconde moitié, laissant les habitants désemparés face à un changement de vie brutal. Elles étaient nées de l'agriculture, autre activité essentielle pour le bourg. Si cette dernière a subsisté, en se transformant radicalement après la Seconde Guerre, elle n'occupe plus - aujourd'hui - que les agriculteurs eux-mêmes. Dans le même temps, des progrès spectaculaires ont vu le jour, modifiant les habitudes. Ils se sont cependant accompagnés d'un cortège de problèmes nouveaux. Ce livre tente de retracer ces évolutions, ainsi que les personnalités qui ont marqué ce siècle à Pussay.
