Rome Discourses – to introduce his report (Rome) : 26th September 1953 : Jacques Lacan
by Julia Evans on September 23, 1953
There are two published items from the Rome Congress held at the Istituto di Psicologia della Università di Roma on 26th and 27th September 1953.
1) Rome Discourses.
Jacques Lacan delivered this text on 26th September 1953 to introduce his report ‘Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis’.
See Richard G. Klein’s site, www.Freud2Lacan, for the French & English translation by Anthony Chadwick, available here
Note : It may be that only the Introduction and not Jacques Lacan’s responses that are translated. JE has not checked Anthony Chadwick’s translation against the following.
In French published as ‘Discours de Rome et réponses aux interventions’ :
Les “Actes du congrès de Rome” furent publiés dans le numéro 1 de la revue ‘La Psychanalyse’ parue en 1956, Sur la parole et le langage.
On y trouve notamment un compte rendu de l’intervention de J. Lacan et une réponse de Lacan aux interventions.
