56

On September 8th, 2011, I was at the Tschann bookshop in Paris for the presentation of the 26th issue of the review Essaim. I had contributed an article to this issue entitled “To be heard” (“Se faire entendre”). The end of the debate focused on the recurrent difficulty of making room for music and song in the practice and theory of psychoanalysis. The following night I had a dream which seemed to “enact” an answer to this matter. It could also be interpreted as an enjoyable way to substitute the character of Georges Brassens with Lacan. I have since realized that the 30th anniversary of both their deaths was jointly celebrated this autumn. Surprising !
