The seminar is integrated with the lecture, and the two are combined in a single session.

Apart from a very brief introduction, the lecture consists of a screening of the two-hour film Histoires de fous, devoted to the problems of madness caused by the trauma of violence. The film was made with the participation of Françoise Davoine, and is based on her book " theoretical fiction " Mad Mother (1998). In this book, the trauma psychoanalyst develops her theory of the possibility of using psychoanalysis to help traumatized people " schizophrenics ", in discussion with Freud, who denied this possibility. The disastrous and contagious consequences of the violence that has been happening throughout Europe since the dawn of time are at the heart of this film and discussion.
