Episode 3: The Gift of Speech

Series on "The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis"

This is the concluding episode in our series on Lacan's essay, "The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis", where we explore the apex of Lacan's argument in section III, "The Resonances of Interpretation and the Time of the Subject in Psychoanalytic Technique".

Listeners who are intrigued by Lacan’s references to Indian linguistics in this section are referred to my recent essay, “A Hamlet on the Ganges”, which provides an extensive commentary on this thread in Lacan’s teaching and its implications for psychoanalysis.
