The Freud Museum London is offering its talks on Freud’s life and works to download as podcasts (for free): http://bit.ly/dHPMUh. Cohen’s talk ‘Freud on Coke’ is particularly enjoyable, if strangely edited.
Full text of Jacques-Alain Miller’s address to the NLS Congress 2011, on next year’s topic, ‘Reading the Symptom’:http://t.co/Pk8W8FL. Miller offers an interesting perspective on the symptom as a fractal object, a ceaseless reiteration, with addiction as the purest example. A nice excerpt: “The discipline of reading targets the materiality of writing, i.e. the letter in so far as it produces the event of jouissance that is decisive for the formation of symptoms. Knowing how to read targets this initial shock, which stands as something like a clinamen of jouissance…. Interpretation as knowing how to read aims at reducing the symptom to its initial formula, i.e., the material encounter between a signifier and the body, the pure shock of language on the body.”

Michael Miller’s new book, ‘Lacanian Psychotherapy‘, is highly recommended. Miller provides some fine examples of what Jacques-Alain Miller fittingly calls “the discipline of the signifier” in Lacanian analytic practice.
