Psychoanalysis has always been situated at the margins of the sciences and humanities: its status was questioned from the beginning; the speculative character of Freud\u2019s and Lacan\u2019s writings violate and provoke scientific norms while deliberately risking failure within disciplinary boundaries. Nonetheless, the project wagers that Freud\u2019s and Lacan\u2019s interest in science and especially in the notion of entropy in thermodynamics offers a possibility to think the real. As Genevi\u00e8ve Morel suggests, science \u2018is concerned with the real, and even more precisely, with <i>finding<\/i> some knowledge in the real\u2019. What is called \u2018entropy\u2019 in thermodynamics as well as in information theory promises a possibility for measuring contingency and probability and is therefore of interest for a psychoanalytic approach to what is called the \u2018real\u2019 in psychoanalysis. The question is not if there is anything scientific about the \u2018babbling practice\u2019, but if psychoanalysis uses formal science, its calculative thinking, in form of scientific-style formalizations, topology and algebra to discover logic in the illogical (Adrian Johnston), to develop a materialist theory of subjectivity, or to grasp the moment in the singular analytic experience where the subject evades scientific logic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interview\/michaelawuensch.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listMichaela W\u00fcnsch has taught Media Studies at Universit\u00e4t Wien, Freie Universit\u00e4t and Humboldt Universit\u00e4t in Berlin, Universit\u00e4t Potsdam, and University of California Riverside.
