Oedipus is not a novel. It is not the story of a child in love with his mother and painfully parricide. It is the tragedy of desire for the speaking being, the experience of a loss, from which each one is constituted as a subject. It is also a way of filiation, which turns a child into a child, through symbolizing the difference between generations. Now, can we think that the Oedipal experience is in dissolution in our societies? The three lectures that make up this volume clearly and precisely pose different symptomatic scenarios in upbringing and adolescence, with the purpose of thinking about a new type of subjectivity (based on early fixations) that no longer takes neuroses as a model of normality. Oedipus is dead, says Lutereau with a certain Nietzschean air. The challenge will be not to fall back on nostalgia and feel its absence as a deficit, so that psychoanalysis is up to the level of the 21st century.
