Ex-sisting discomfort

Abstract

Presentation of the third issue of Pathos. The guiding thread of our call for papers emphasized the special attention deserved by the particular clinical interpretation and productions of the unconscious in the current conjuncture of the COVID-19 pandemic. This point allowed us to glimpse that from Freud's socio-anthropological texts to Lacan's concept of Discourse, psychoanalysis has had the inexorable task of explaining the juncture of social experience and the logic of the unconscious.
