“The truth is not in a single dream,
but in many dreams”
Following a first year of seminar around the archive between poetics, politics and violence of history and dreams in 2020-2021, this seminar focuses on the dreamed life, and what affects us in simultaneously affecting our relationship to the world. It will not only be a matter of questioning the dream as an object of research from an inter- and transdisciplinary point of view, but also of the dimension of subjectivity.
If psychoanalysis has developed a conception of the dream which defines it as a process and a movement, it has tended to interpret this movement in an abstract way. We have almost forgotten the subversive power of what Freud, in The interpretation of dreams, called dreamwork as a productive movement that changes the way we experience the world. For post-marxist thoughts, this movement is one of the expressions of subjective life, following a dialectical approach that emphasizes negativity, or else a plural ontology. It is then no longer a question of a self-absence in consciousness but of the integrity of the human experience, transversal to the individual and collective dimensions, at the same time where memory and history are inscribed, and which relate it to the movement of creation.
From there, the notions of sovereignty in the gesture of creation or in the classic psychoanalytical schema give way to a questioning renewed by the adventures of institutional analysis, narrative socioanalysis, anthropology and critical theory, political studies, feminist, gender and subaltern studies, and inventions in literature and art.
By following the trail of dreams, themselves par excellence an outside of instrumental reason, we will discover the figures of the other who were included in a subordinate way, of which they remain carriers of the emancipatory charge of their insubordination, and some passages between philosophy and creation.
The seminar will combine a program of invited interventions, commented readings, and production of an oral archive supporting inter- and transdisciplinarities.
