ABSTRACT
This is what gave rise to the idea of a reading of Don Quixote in this seminar—Don Quixote and his wandering knights who might come to the rescue of our duenna. For today old Dame Psychoanalysis seems unable to defend herself from the invasion of her domain by her rival, the brain. In truth, the brain lends itself without hesitation to the standard protocols: biochemical, electric, even psychological with videotaping, one-way mirrors or two-way mirrors for that matter. Moreover, its value keeps increasing on the world’s stock markets, despite recession, while when all is said and done, the psyche only yields peanuts.
