Interview with Lacan, L’Express, 1957
This interview, conducted by Lacan’s friend Madeleine Chapsal, appeared in L’Express on 31st May 1957 under the title ‘Clefs pour la psychanalyse’ (‘Keys to psychoanalysis’). In her biography of Lacan, Elisabeth Roudinesco describes (p.262) how Chapsal insisted that Lacan answer her questions in plain language that made his thoughts accessible to the general reader. It is one of the rare instances where we find Lacan being disciplined in his clarity and succinctness.

A psychoanalytic blog for a politics of the present. Contemporary Heretic is a blog for the lovers of the unconscious and of psychoanalysis: for analysts and analysands, for the enlightened and inspired, and for the disenchanted and discouraged. Indeed, it is for all who, at least once in their life, felt impassioned by a singularity of their experience. It is also a site where questions about the place and status of the psychoanalyst and of the discourse of psychoanalysis in civilisation today can be articulated.
