Against this backdrop, an unlikely hero emerges, a man unjustly arrested and imprisoned as a result of alleged criminal conduct on the Capitol grounds on January 6, 2021.

"Ce Séminaire marque un tournant. Il traite d’une question et d’une seule, à laquelle Lacan n’avait jusqu’alors répondu que de biais : qu’est-ce qu’un analyste ? Réponse : c’est un analysant (mot que Lacan substitue à celui d’analysé) qui a mené à son terme l’expérience analytique. Quel est ce terme idéal ? Pour le savoir, il convient d’articuler la logique du parcours d’une analyse. À son commencement, il y a un désir inédit, qui suppose un franchissement, c’est-à-dire un acte, à l’instar de César passant le Rubicon. Cet acte est celui de l’analysant, mais l’acte psychanalytique proprement dit, c’est le psychanalyste qui l’accomplit, en ouvr...
