In his tenth seminar, delivered from 1962 to 1963, Lacan stated that anxiety is “that which does not deceive” and is “not without an object.” Situated between the preceding seminar on identification and the subsequent seminar on the four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis, Seminar X marks a transitional point in Lacan’s teaching, as he moves from the symbolic and the signifier toward the real and affect and, consequently, develops the idea of object a more fully. In this ten-week teaching seminar, we will read Lacan’s Seminar X to understand these axiomatic formulations of anxiety in the context of this crucial shift in his teaching. We will begin with Freud’s two essays, “Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety” and “Civilization and Its Discontents,” as Lacan himself begins his seminar in response to the former. We will then proceed to a close reading of Seminar X and conclude with two contemporary commentaries on Lacanian anxiety by Jacques-Alain Miller and Éric Laurent.
Each seminar will consist of a lecture followed by discussion.
