21st Century Literature: Now through History

James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA

of the ground under and around us, our=85 sense of where is it in time
we find ourselves=85 [O]ur relation =96 individually and collectively =96=
to the idea of past, present, and future has been radically
modified. A great many people now live with the feeling that both
the historical and the personal past exist on the other side of a
widening gulf, while the future seems to press down with a palpable
urgency.

"The Triumph of Religion": Lacanian perspectives on (a)theology
Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands)
19-20 September 2007
At a press conference in Rome, 1974, when asked for his opinion about the
relation between psychoanalysis and religion, Lacan promptly replies: "In
the end, it is either the one, or the other." But he hesitates answering the
next question - 'who, then, will win the battle?' - and finally states that
"religion will never go down." Religion, so he adds, will "triumph." And
after a moment of doubt, he feels compelled to say the opposite about
psychoanalysis: it will certainly not triumph, at the best it will succeed
in 'surviving.'
