In A minor (digital format)

Description

This post is also available in:

“A concerto… in A minor,” Françoise Dolto said about Lacan’s teaching.

This book, for its part, recaptures that tonality: solemn, vibrant, permeated by listening.

Born from a poetic reading of Jacques Lacan’s Seminars, In A minor transforms theory into sonic material. Each poem is written at the boundary of concept and body, at the point where language unravels to better articulate what, from the unconscious, insists on speaking.

It is not a commentary, nor a paraphrase: it is a resonance.

A space where psychoanalysis begins to sing.

Where knowledge becomes rhythm, rupture, tremor.

Poetry of transference, of desire, of the real — poetry of listening.

A writing that, instead of explaining Lacan, allows him to speak differently:

in A minor.
