Who we are !
We are above all psychoanalysts
interested by a work on
the Letter
(with a big "L").
|
|
I.e.:
by the
importance of the metonymy and metaphor through
analytical work, political discourse and manifestations of art.
by the
importance of the writing, in what it leads to the return of the
driven back meaning, in the form of what we call the
Letter.
by the
importance of the Letter when (in the mathematics or topological
fields) it comes to mark a place where one cannot write any
nonsense.
We crossed the
way of other people, professors, researchers, artists, doctors,
judges, teachers, administrators, data processing specialists,
philosophers, theologians... who gave us the desire to join
without forcing ourselves, to put in correspondence our points
of view without to plug on our dissensions.
It's enough
with the idea to "fight against" illiteracy or anything
else. We just try to work "with" and "for" the
illiterate ones.
We are for the
creation of a "clinical" theory of illiteracy in order to
organize a prevention of it.
We are
experimented in the fact that contradictory debate introduce "Another
discourse" than the
one we use to ear about illiteracy. What we are talking about is
that the uncertain of the living creature depends of the Letter'
own sort.
What we are
speaking about is the importance of language.
The human
being, according to us, is given to be understand through its
logical errors, its defects and its perpetual deformations of
the language.
We do not want
these demonstrations to be reduced to a disease, a malformation
or a deficiency: terms which inaugurate of a cure, a
rehabilitation or a possible adaptation of illiterates people
and makes them regarded as sub men.
We do not want
either of warlike terminology ; we are not fighting against the
illiterate ones nor even against illiteracy. As we said before,
we work with and "for" the illiterate ones.
Our question
is about the mode of production of humanity. Our real question
is : "What kind of society for what kind of a human being" ?
What kind of world do we want and for what kind of human ?
We have made
our choice for a society acted by and through the Language,
because we think that illiteracy, as much as psychosis, autism
or other heavy nuisances, produces intelligence.

Towards An
“Existence of Discourse”
by Marie-Hélène Briole. (Extract)
When in
1972 Lacan introduced his concept of llanguage, this supposed
going beyond sense and even in the opposite direction; it
implied written language. “One must enter into the matrix
of discourse through the sign and not through sense” is
Eric Laurent's proposal in La Conversation d'Arcachon(4).
How can the concept of llanguage be explained?
In his address
to the Rome Congress of the EFP in November 1974, “Théorie de
la lalangue,”(6) Jacques-Alain Miller defined it thus: “Llanguage
is made up of no matter what, of whatever is lying around, in
pits and in salons. The misunderstanding is everywhere.
[. . .] Homophony is the motor of llanguage. [. .
.] To say llanguage in one word is to
designate llanguage of sound, implied llanguage, the one before
the master signifier, the one analysis seems to deliver and
release.”
Returning to
Lacan's assertion that “language is a wild ranting of
knowledge about llanguage,” he focuses on the distance
existing between llanguage and language: “The question of
how the master nabs llanguage is the same as the question of how
the One comes to seize llanguage, to break it again, to
articulate it, of how the master incarnates in it, assumes
language; that is to say, comes to write himself.”
He concludes
in these terms: “The unconscious is made up of
llanguage, whose effects go much further than communication,
since they trouble the body and the soul, as in thought."
