About this Event
Yusin proposes that the end of the psychoanalytical cure consists in a kind of love of one’s own symptom, therefore presenting a reformulation of the end of the psychoanalytical cure. Using subjective topology, she shows that the psychoanalytical “operation” consists of two major operations: analysis of the fundamental fantasy and sublimation. With the help of Lacan’s logic, she returns to Freud’s formulation of sublimation to describe how it operates in the psychoanalytical experience. To show how sublimation is a part of the end of the cure, she places an emphasis on the function of art in the psychoanalytical experience.
