Horacio Etchegoyen - On The Lacanians

On The Lacanians

The 'discussions held in 1996 in Buenos Aires between the then-president of the IPA, Horatio Etchegoyen, and the Lacanian movement's foremost but certainly not undisputed representative, Jacques-Alain Miller' offer an 'interesting contemporary image of the relations between the IPA and the international Lacanian movement'. Etchegoyen invited Miller to the 1997 IPA Congress in Barcelona, where the latter's comments from the floor were greeted with warm applause.

Etchegoyen's 'efforts...to seek accord' were presaged in his Fundamentals, where he 'discusses some key Lacanian concepts without resorting to ad hominem criticisms or polemic'.
