Survive
"Survive" Sydney Levy, co-founder of SubStance (bio) In a conversation I was having with a friend the other day, I was telling her that, in all likelihood, the journal SubStance will survive its founders. It is not the possibility of survival that I ruminated about for the next few days. After all, there are many a journal that survived, some of them for centuries. But it is the word "survive" that kept busying itself in my mind. Why do we use me…

Elove: What Does Fiction Know
What does it take to make a machine that you may love and that has the potential of loving you back? It is the necessary conceptual components, as opposed to the technology involved, that I will explore. Luckily, fiction, literary and cinematic, unbridled by reality, has been exploring these conditions of possibility for quite some time. My main guides will be works by E.T.A. Hoffmann, E.A. Poe, Villiers de l'Isle-Adam, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Phili…
Travail du rêve et travail formel de l'image: Interaction Entre Anthropologie Et Métapsychologie
L'interaction entre métapsychologie et anthropologie permet de saisir la puissance de l'image onirique et son statut particulier. D'un point de vue clinique, il s'agit, à travers l'écoute analytique, d'être affecté esthétiquement par son évocation
Repenser la notion d'autochtonie
Les discours protectionnistes faisant appel à la notion d'identité nationale (et revendiquant une légitimité pour séjourner dans le pays) installent des mesures administratives et conduites violentes telles que celles, par exemple, sévissant au sein des centres de rétention pour sans-papiers. Pour explorer cette question, l'auteur propose, à partir de la recherche en psychanalyse, un travail du mythe grec d'autochtonie (celui qui raconte la fonda…

"What are the questions that fascinate you? What do you want to know?" Personal questions, personal answers
Of Journals and Eternity
The journal whose 100th issue we celebrate here has little in common with what it was when we launched issue "numéro zéro" in 1971. Not only because its editors, format, contributors and themes have changed, as could be expected in a publication now more than 30 years old. But the main difference lies in the technological and ontological subversions it has lived through and whose impacts have changed the world as we knew it
Francis Ponge: De la connaissance en poesie
The working hypothesis of Sydney Lévy's Ponge is that poetry may help us come to know the world of phenomena, and that it may in some cases articulate that knowledge in a manner that might be called "scientific." This is a notion that will confound many readers of contemporary poetry--though it would surely have seemed utterly apt to Lucretius. Lévy is interested in the ways in which Ponge attempts to reduce the distance between experience and it…

Introduction: The Hows and Whys of Marcel Bénabou’s Writing Sydney Lévy With this special section on Marcel Bénabou, we wish to revive a practice from the early years of the journal’s existence, but which has been eclipsed by the deluge of theoretical considerations of the 1970s and ‘80s. It consists of introducing the work of a contemporary writer whom we think is worthy of our readers’ attention. Working on the present issue, a kind of formula …
Le temps mode d'emploi
Time, a User's Manual Perec's title suggests a story inscribed in time, while the novel describes a building at the moment one of its inhabitants dies. The project is to say both movement and stasis, continuity and discontinuity, time and space, a project in which the structure of the book and its self-imposed constraints find their logic. Not that that is surprising

ion to concrete syntactical organizations. These elements, as in a mille-feuilles, are each on a different plane. Moreover they are of a different scale. First, there is the epistemological discourse in which there is the narrative, in which there are the descriptive versions, in which there are syntactical variations, in which there are lexical variations. Running through the depth of these planes we notice that: a. The relationships between the…
