The Address (and Transference), with Jeffrey Librett
Update: 2022-12-02
Description
In this episode, psychoanalyst and German/Jewish literature professorJeffrey Librett speaks of the structure of the address that psychoanalysis subverts. This structure in the social link sets limits on what can be said to and recognized by someone else. There is therefore a structural failure in communication. But even one's private thoughts are limited by this structure. Transference in psychoanalysis, as Librett understands it, lifts repression to welcome speech about what is left out of reality and shared language, and opens the possibility of articulating and sustaining something of the unconscious subject in the social link.
