Daniel Mendelsohn’s Memoir-Writing
This volume of eight essays written by French scholars analyzes Daniel Mendelsohn's first three volumes of nonfiction (The Elusive Embrace, 1999; The Lost, 2006; and An Odyssey, 2017) and includes an illustrated interview (2019) in which Mendelsohn tackles various aspects of his work as a literary and cultural critic, as a professor of classical literature, as a translator, and as a memoirist. The essay discussing The Elusive Embrace (1999) argues that, in addition to offering a subtle reflection on sexual identity and genres, Mendelsohn’s first volume already broadens his topic and patiently weaves links between ancient and present times, feeding his meditation with his knowledge of Greek...
The “Here and Now” of French Psychoanalysis
The “Here and Now” of French Psychoanalysis provides an overview of the living psychoanalytic landscape in France through the voice of experienced psychoanalysts who continue to transform the legacy of Freud, Lacan and others in their publications and clinical practice. Rachel Boué-Widawsky interviews a wide range of practitioners, underscoring the specificities of French psychoanalysis and exploring how the French psychoanalytic community has responded theoretically and clinically to the global crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial and gender issues. Mimicking the process of psychoanalytic dialogue, the interview format allows for a lively and engaging discussion of each practitioner’s theoretical background and their clinical approach. Boué-Widawsky includes leading individuals in the field as well as representatives of key institutions including La Maison de Solenn and the Centre Jean-Favreau. The “Here and Now” of French Psychoanalysis presents an accessible introduction to this distinctive psychoanalytic landscape. It will be essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training and for academics and students of psychoanalytic studies.
Psychanalyse du reste du monde
Reprenant l'invitation de Jacques Derrida à renverser la formule " The West and the Rest " et à ne pas considérer la psychanalyse comme un pur produit de la civilisation occidentale, cet ouvrage collectif en présente une géo-histoire alternative. À partir des marges, des " restes " venus d'autres continents, se dessinent ainsi des voies de circulations diverses, parfois inattendues, des appropriations excentrées, des réinventions créatrices. Grâce aux regards croisés d'une trentaine d'auteurs du Nord et du Sud, on découvrira que la psychanalyse a existé et continue d'exister " ailleurs ", de l'Inde à Madagascar, en passant par le monde arabe, l'Afrique et les Caraïbes, ou enco...
Meaningless Suffering
Does suffering have meaning? The leading scholars and practitioners in Meaningless Suffering engage with this haunting human question through the lenses of psychoanalytic, phenomenological and ethical discourse, all the while holding contemporary social concerns in full view. The authors seek to find ways of speaking about the lived realities and historical moments that make up our social narratives – from the murder of George Floyd to the bird watching incident in Central Park – in order to render visible the entangled forms of the effects of embodiment, ideology, race, social practice, and intersectionality. Meaningless Suffering is bookended by powerful pieces by Mari Ruti and Homi K....
La vie psychique du racisme
S'il n'est plus cautionné par la biologie ou l'anthropologie, comme il l'était à l'apogée de la période coloniale, le racisme est loin d'avoir disparu. Son énigmatique persistance puise ses ruses et ses raisons dans l'inconscient et dans les effets de croyance qui l'accompagnent. Ce livre part à la recherche des traces d'une vie psychique collective héritière d'une histoire largement tributaire des grands partages coloniaux, rendue illisible dans notre actualité postcoloniale. Pour s'orienter dans ces voies parfois tortueuses, il a fallu miser sur l'apport sous-estimé d'Octave Mannoni. Philosophe venu tardivement à la psychanalyse, il a évolué pendant un quart de siècle dans l...
Troubles de l'apprentissage chez l'enfant
Les chemins qu’empruntent les enfants pour apprendre gardent toujours une part de mystère et réservent nombre de surprises, le plus souvent fort agréables. Lorsque des embûches se présentent, lorsque l’enfant peine pour apprendre, les parents, l’entourage familial ou éducatif au sens large ainsi que les enseignants, sont bien souvent pris au dépourvu. L’appel aux professionnels de santé est devenu un recours incontournable, dès que des « difficultés d’apprentissage » sont repérées chez un enfant. Écouter, observer... pour pouvoir aider au mieux, voici le défi auquel sont confrontés les soignants en collaboration avec la famille et l’équipe enseignante. Les auteu...
The Rebel's Clinic
Frantz Fanon was born in Martinique, a French colony, in 1925. As a young man, he volunteered to fight in de Gaulle's army for the liberation of France, and trained to become a doctor and psychiatrist. His experiences as a black man under French colonial rule had a profound effect on him. In 1952, he wrote Black Skin, White Masks, a vital analysis of the effects of racism on the human psyche. He was later re-assigned to a hospital in French Algeria. It was here that he became involved in the rebellion of the National Liberation Front (FLN), who fought to break free from colonial power. Fanon's work for the FLN as a propagandist and psychiatrist became highly contentious. His final work, The Wretched of the Earth, was published in 1961 just before he died at the age of 36. It has proved to be one of the most controversial yet influential books of our time. The Rebel's Clinic is a searing biography of the short and harrowing life of Frantz Fanon, and a brilliant, nuanced exploration of his ideas, whose legacy is still so powerful. In an age when debates about race and the effects of colonialism are ever more urgent, The Rebel's Clinic is a profoundly relevant book.
Gilles Deleuze and Flix Guattari
In May 1968, Gilles Deleuze was an established philosopher teaching at the innovative Vincennes University, just outside of Paris. Felix Guattari was a political militant and director of an unusual psychiatric clinic at La Borde. Their meeting was unlikely, and the two were introduced in an arranged encounter of epic consequence. From that moment on, Deleuze and Guattari engaged in a surprising, productive partnership, collaborating on several groundbreaking works, including Anti-Oedipus, What Is Philosophy? and A Thousand Plateaus. Francois Dosse, a prominent French intellectual, examines the prolific, if improbable, relationship between two men of distinct and differing sensibilities. Drawing on unpublished archives and hundreds of personal interviews, Dosse elucidates a collaboration that lasted more than two decades, underscoring the role that family and history--particularly the turbulence of May 1968--played in their monumental work. He also takes the measure of Deleuze and Guattari's posthumous fortunes and weighs the impact of their thought within intellectual, academic, and professional circles.
Où est passée la psychanalyse ?
La psychanalyse a connu de meilleurs jours. On met en cause son efficacité clinique, sa pertinence théorique. Sous cette volée de bois vert, elle oublie souvent que la meilleure défense, c'est la contre-attaque. Que serait la culture du siècle écoulé sans la psychanalyse ? Sciences, arts, théorie, lettres et philosophie : rien n'échappe au regard psychanalytique. Et réciproquement, loin d'être une doctrine immuable, la psychanalyse s'est toujours transformée au contact de pensées et de créations extérieures. Ce numéro, conçu par Sophie Mendelsohn, remet la psychanalyse aux prises avec son passé pour mieux la resituer sur la scène ouverte de la vie intellectuelle contemporaine. Il explore les points de rencontre entre les questions psychanalytiques, les autres disciplines de la pensée et les activités créatrices. N'en déplaise aux fossoyeurs hâtifs, cette osmose n'a peut-être jamais été aussi forte qu'aujourd'hui. "Où est passée la psychanalyse ?" doit donc s'entendre sur l'air d'une célèbre comptine : "Elle est passée par ici, elle repassera par là".
