The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis’s French Psychoanalysis in Translation seminar series responds to the steady increase in interest in French psychoanalysis in translation over recent years. English readers are now much better situated to appreciate the breadth and depth of French psychoanalytic thinking thanks to the continued efforts of publishers and translators to bring more classic and contemporary texts to an Anglophone audience. In response to this, the Site is inviting translators to discuss their work and that of the psychoanalytic authors whose texts they have translated.
The third seminar in the series will focus on Ben Hooson’s recent retranslation of Jacques Lacan‘s 1961-9162 seminar on Identification. Ben Hosoon will be in conversation with Site trainee Claudia Lapping, introducing the main themes of Seminar IX, discussing the politics of translation around Lacan’s work and examining some of the challenges of rendering Lacan’s ideas into English.
