ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank the students and auditors of my seminar at UFR, “Sciences des Textes et Documents,” Université Paris 7-Denis Diderot, who made this work and its reconstruction possible. My thanks especially to Frédéric Bensaïd, who recorded the lectures and faithfully reproduced the text, and to Raymonde Coudert, who edited the final manuscript.

I wish to express my sincere thanks to Julia Kristeva for suggesting this project to me and to The MacDowell Colony, where many chapters of this book were translated. Thanks also to Jim Fletcher for the Aragon poems, Kristin Prevallet for the Freud archives, and David Strauss for The Language of Psycho-Analysis.
