A Re-enactment of Lacan’s Lost Lecture, Naples
A Re-enactment of Lacan’s Lost Lecture, Naples
In 1967 in Naples, Jacques Lacan improvised his discourse on The Mistaking of the Subject Supposed to Know instead of presenting the formal notes he had prepared. These lost notes had never been revealed until the recent discovery of an archive of his work. The reading of Lacan’s conception of relation from these notes, which links the fantasy of knowledge in conjunction with the Other and the dream of wholeness, is a reenactment of Lacan’s lost lecture. This project is organized by the Brooklyn-based non-profit organization Cabinet at the S1 Institute, via F. Crispi 80, 80121 Naples. Text Pierre-Alexandre Mateos
