The Toulouse encounters bring together works conducted within “Lacan’s Wager” and
the “Open-Air Cartels of the Cardo”. The experience of clinical presentations and
cartels directly confronts participants with the dynamic and surprising dimension
of the signifier.

Interventions investigate on the one hand the diachronic difference proper to the
signifier as illuminated by the position of psychosis (drawing on _Seminar III_,
_Identification_, and Christian Fierens’s _Logic of the Unconscious_), and on the
other hand the central field of jouissance, the object _a_, and the figure of Tiresias
in Seminar X (_Anxiety_).
