Winter 2021 Schedule

Lacan Salon 2021 Schedule

Text: Seminar IX: Identification (1961-1962)

As we begin the Salon in the fall of 2020, we will be maintaining our virtual, zoom-enabled practice for the time being, due to restrictions on gatherings in British Columbia and Simon Fraser University guidelines. Thank you for your patience for those of you missing the in-person sessions (as most of us are!) and welcome, also, to our visitors from outside Vancouver who have joined us since March. The internationalization of the Salon is a real pleasure. Readings for this Seminar are available at lacaninireland.com, Cormac Gallagher’s essential resource.
