Mary Cullen – Struggling with Lacans L’Etourdit and Fierens Second Reading
The Letter 59 & 60 Summer – Autumn 2015, pages 39-46
The paper outlines a circling around L’Etourdit and Christian Fierens’ second reading of it in order to find a‘way in’. Starting from a place of ‘sense’- that of the universal, language, and current public discourse – attention is then brought to focus on the rigour of the requirement of an analytic formation. The work of Winnicott towards the end of his life in attempting to describe the place where life begins is juxtaposed with the ‘Real’ of Lacan, leading to a grappling with the effect of the structure coming from the unconscious and an outline of progression to date in understanding Fierens’ second and third formulae of sexuation.
