Psychoanalysis or ... the plague: the unconscious is political

In his Nichomachean Ethics, Aristotle says that the enquiry into ethics at its highest level necessarily follows into politics. 
Politics is present throughout Lacan’s teaching. These are some
 of his statements:

    ‘The psychoanalyst takes into account that the unconscious is political’;

      ‘The essence of the law is to divide up, distribute or reattribute everything that counts as jouissance’;

        ‘The Lacanian Field is the field of jouissance’;

          ‘The politics of the psychoanalyst in his practice aims at opening the analysand’s path to his sense and his desire’.

                                ACP XIX Symposium program

                                ACP – Forum of Melbourne Colloquium

                                “Psychoanalysis or ... the plague: the unconscious is political”

                                  Coming out of the history of the International of the Forums, the work of the Forums of this year is oriented to this question: what can be said about the politics of the Lacanian field? Some account of the history has been published in ‘La Psychanalyse; pas la pensée unique, Histoire d’une crise singulière’(1), and it is the idea that from reviewing this history--especially for those who do not know it--we can approach the question, what politics for the Lacanian  eld? This is especially pertinent given that psychoanalysis emphasises the problematics of any ‘unity’ of thought or ideology.
