Venue: Nick's house, see email for details
Impromptu at Vincennes. Jacques Lacan
The Nietzschean Audience. Geoff Lowe (with Jacqueline Riva)
To paraphrase Geoff Lowe, I meant to read all about Lacan in preparation for this question but I didn't have time. "Lacan was born in Paris, the eldest of Emilie and Alfred Lacan's three children. His father was a successful soap and oils salesman. His mother was ardently Catholic." Read the two readings prescribed for this week thinking about how and where knowledge is formed and articulated, after last week's class it may be good to think about knowledge and the University. Identify the key points / argument from each reading with the view to a class discussion.
Reference to: Paola Pivi, Aphasia, the University
