Guests: Antonio Di Ciaccia, John McCourt
In the 23rd seminar, a central element in Dora García’s “La partitura Sinthomo” (“The Sinthomo Musical Score”), Lacan chooses Joyce as his guide on a journey into the structure of the unconscious. Dr. Antonio Di Ciaccia and Prof. John McCourt take their cue from texts by both authors to analyse the ways in which writing explores the unconscious.
Antonio Di Ciaccia is a psychoanalyst, a member of the École de la Cause Freudienne, the Scuola Lacaniana di Psicoanalisi and the World Psychonalysis Assocation, and Chair of the Freudian Institute, a school specialising in Lacanian psychoanalytical psychotherapy, and of the Applied Psychoanalysis Consulting Rooms. He has edited and translated Other Writings and the volumes of Lacan’s Seminar in Italy for Einaudi and Astrolabio. He is Editor-in-Chief of Astrolabio’s journal La Psicoanalisi, Astrolabio. In 1974 he founded Antenne 110, an institute for autistic and psychotic children, in Belgium
