Lacan’s VIII Seminar is about the transference in the analytic cure considered through the Plato’s Symposium and its commentary by Léon Robin (1929).

Nel Seminario VIII Jacques Lacan spiega il transfert analitico attraverso la lettura del Simposio di Platone e il commento a quest'ultima opera di Léon Robin (1929). Tale contributo presenta una sintesi dei punti salienti dell'ampia e innovativa lettura del dialogo platonico da parte dell'analista francese, focalizzando l'attenzione sui passaggi in cui dipende da Robin e su quanto Lacan dice riguardo quattro parole: ἔρως, κύκλος, ἐραστής ed ἄγαλμα. Tali parole possono essere considerate decisive ai fini della comprensione della lettura lacaniana del Simposio: grazie ai suoi ἀγάλματα, Socrate, primo psicanalista della storia, fu in grado di trasformare Alcibiade in un ἐραστής.

Abstract
Lacan’s VIII Seminar is about the transference in the analytic cure considered through the Plato’s Symposium and its commentary by Léon Robin (1929). This paper outlines some of the major points of this extensive and innovative com-mentary on the Plato’s text with special attention to what Lacan takes from Robin’s commentary and what the French psychoanalyst says about four words: ἔρως, κύκλος, ἐραστής and ἄγαλμα. Those last words might be considered the most im-portant in order to understand the Lacan’s reading of the Symposium: with the help of his ἀγάλματα, Socrates was the first psychoanalyst in history who was able to convert Alcibiades (the analysand) into an ἐραστής.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
