The Transformations of Desire

The relation of the speaking being with desire has all kinds of drifts. Inhibited desires, mad, degraded to being nothing more than the will of jouissance, dead. Desires that cannot be recognized as such, that horrify. Desires that, because they cannot be sustained, return under the garments of guilt. To speak of desire is also to speak of the Other, insofar as in its own structuring it has it as a support. And it is also to speak of object a, of castration and mutations.

In the Italian Note Lacan refers to the desire of the analyst, which he does not hesitate to call unprecedented desire. A desire that is not reduced to the position occupied in the analysis, but also alludes to the transmission of psychoanalysis in the experience of the pass. To make of this remainder, a cause that vivifies the School. Desire transforms, mutates, becomes in the course of an analysis, in artistic creation, in the artifices that each subject can construct.

From the lack as a lack from which one suffers, to the loss it causes. We propose for this meeting to work on the transformations of desire, to follow its trace, to take it to the letter so that, via equivocation, a twist, a turn of discourse, a new advent is produced.
