“If a Lacanian School of psychoanalyis is a subject, it certainly needs an Other… and a lack in the Other. It needs an Other in order for its signifiers to circulate, renew, dialecticise. […] A hole dug in the very centre of the School, a point of not knowing, which makes the Other a stranger to the point of becoming Unheimlich in all his splendour. This hole is a requirement for the School to hold a conversation around what causes it.” (Gil Caroz)
