Beckett, Lacan and the Gaze
Forming a pair with the voice, the gaze is a central structuring element of Samuel Beckett’s creation. And yet it takes the form of a strangely impersonal visual dimension testifying to the absence of an original exchange of gazes capable of founding personal identity and opening up the world to desire. The collapse of conventional reality and the highlighting of seeing devices—eyes, mirrors, windows—point to the absence of a unified representation. While masks and closed spaces show the visible to be opaque and devoid of any beyond, light and darkness, spectres—manifestations without origin—reveal a realm beyond the confines of identity, where nothing provides a mediation with the...
Beckett, Lacan and the Voice
The voice traverses Beckett's work in its entirety, defining its space and its structure. Emanating from an indeterminate source situated outside the narrators and characters, while permeating the very words they utter, it proves to be incessant. It can alternatively be violently intrusive, or embody a calming presence. Literary creation will be charged with transforming the mortification it inflicts into a vivifying relationship to language. In the exploration undertaken here, Lacanian psychoanalysis offers the means to approach the voice's multiple and fundamentally paradoxical facets with regards to language that founds the subject's vital relation to existence. Far from seeking to impose a rigid and purely abstract framework, this study aims to highlight the singularity and complexity of Beckett's work, and to outline a potentially vast field of investigation
The Sadness Business
Have you lost a loved one? Your sadness becomes depression. Your child is a little too lively? He or she may be a danger to society. Do you have a penchant for cake? You have a psychiatric disorder. The new standard way of thinking about mental health, dictated by the publication of an international guide, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, is authorian and overshadows Therapeutic Listening in favor of the drug treatment—its latest version, the DSM-5, lists more than 350 diseases. Patrick Landman exposes the abuses of such a takeover—the range of normality is reduced and we all become consumers of psychotropic drugs, and even potential lunatics. A child psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and jurist, Patrick Landman was president of the Psychoanalytical Convention and a member of the Board of Directors of Espace Analytique. He is the author of several books, including The Sadness Business, which now serves as a work of reference.
Mélancolie et vérité
Peut-on considérer le mélancolique comme un pur et simple malade de la vérité ? La vérité que Freud débusque à l'oeuvre derrière la plainte mélancolique est-elle le dernier terme que la dépossession mélancolique préserve ? Ou au contraire, la compétence spéciale du mélancolique recouvre-t-elle et désigne-t-elle la part d'inconsistance que toute vérité recouvre ? Au terme de cette enquête pouvons-nous décider si le mélancolique est momentanément ignorant de la vérité ou, si comme l'affirmait Freud, il "s'est passablement approché de la vérité" ? De quel côté de la vérité est-il ? En fait entre les deux cas, la vérité a changé de nature et de lieu, ce dont s'approche le mélancolique freudien est une vérité écornée et dépendante du sujet qui la nomme.

Lacan on Depression and Melancholia
Lacan on Depression and Melancholia considers how clinical, cultural, and personal understandings of depression can be broken down and revisited to properly facilitate psychoanalytical clinical practice. The contributors to this book highlight the role of neurotic conflicts underlying depressive affects, the distinction between neurotic and psychotic structure, the nature of melancholia, and the clinical value of Freudian and Lacanian concepts – such as object a, the Other, desire, the superego, sublimation – as demonstrated via a variety of clinical and historical cases. The book includes discussions of bereavement and mourning, transference in melancholia, suicidality and the death drive, excessive creativity, melancholic identification, neurotic inhibition, and manic-depressive psychosis. Lacan on Depression and Melancholia will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in practice and training, Lacanian clinicians, and scholars of Lacanian theory.
Melancolía y verdad
En nuestra época la noción de depresión ha desalentado cualquier intento por establecer diferenciaciones clínicas y, en consecuencia, se excluyó de la clínica la relación humana con la verdad. Por esta razón es tan imporante retomar el concepto de melancolía, en la medida en que la melancolía es inseparable, precisamente, de esa relación con la verdad. Este libro articula el examen de la amplia y prestigiosa tradición, tanto psiquiátrica como filosófica, que permitió la reflexión que exige el sujeto melancólico, con la tradición del psicoanálisis -freudiano, posfreudiano y lacaniano-, que ilumina el extraordinario poder de significación de ese sujeto. El presente estudio de la pasión melancólica vuelve a darle su lugar a la angustia, la culpa y el amor en este cuadro y, asimismo, esclarece la función que la mirada cumple en él. La "excepción melancólica" muestra, finalmente, qué le sucede al lenguaje en la cruel espera de la verdad.
The New Black
In The New Black, Darian Leader argues that mourning and melancholia lie at the heart of what we call depression, but that we neither fully understand nor appreciate the influence of either on our inner lives. By looking more deeply at how we respond to experiences of loss, he seeks to free us from the grip of feelings that, if we let them, may destroy us.
