Le Lien affectif

Rate this book
"L'identification est la forme la plus originaire du lien affectif à un objet." Huit études, rédigées sur une période de dix ans, tentent de tirer les implications, pour la psychanalyse, de cette phrase énigmatique du dernier Freud. Ces implications sont multiples : "éthiques" et "politiques" (la psychanalyse est-elle à même de nous libérer d'une conception autoritaire du "lien social" ?), thérapeutiques (la cure analytique peut-elle, doit-elle se distinguer de l'hypnose ?), théoriques (le concept d'"inconscient" échappe-t-il vraiment à la problématique de la conscience, à la philosophie du sujet ?). Qu'ils traitent de Freud, de Lacan, de Michel Henry ou de Lévi-Strauss, de la rhétorique ou de l'anthropologie de la transe, les essais ici rassemblés réenvisagent toutes ces questions, au risque de déranger quelques certitudes bien ancrées. À l'écart du freudisme orthodoxe comme de sa version lacanienne, ils se frayent une nouvelle voie à travers la psychanalyse. À la fin, on se demande s'ils n'aboutissent pas tout simplement ailleurs.

Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen (born 1951), is Professor of Comparative Literature and French at the University of Washington in Seattle. Born to Danish parents, he began his studies in France, where he studied philosophy with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy, two philosophers close in thought to, and in dialogue with, Jacques Derrida and Jacques Lacan.
In 1981 at the University of Strasbourg he submitted his doctoral dissertation on The Freudian Subject and then began teaching in the department of Psychoanalysis at Vincennes University in Paris, where Jacques Lacan had first made his mark.
He is the author of many works on the history and philosophy of psychiatry, psychoanalysis and hypnosis. His constructivist analysis of the co-production of psychical "facts" emphasises the accuracy of historical accounts of mental disorders. He is known for his positions in virulent debates about psychoanalysis – called the Freud Wars – especially with regard to his 2005 publication of Le Livre noir de la psychanalyse ("The Black Book of Psychoanalysis"). In a review entitled Folies à plusieurs. De l'hystérie à la dépression ("Many madnesses. From hysteria to depression"), Pierre-Henri Castel calls Borch-Jacobsen "one of the most polemic thinkers with regard to the Freud Wars".
