Topic: Jacques Miller


  
  Encyclopedia: Jacques Miller
Miller discovered that the thymus is vital for development and function of the adaptive immune system, by showing that experimental animals without a thymus at birth were incapable of rejecting foreign tissues and resisting many infections.
Miller made the unexpected discovery that the thymus is in fact vital for correct development of the immune system and thus for the body's defences against infectious diseases, parasitic illnesses and some types of cancer-producing agents.
Miller's discovery of the function of the thymus, and his work with Graham Mitchell in proving the existence and function of T cells and B cells, have opened up whole new fields for the study of immunology, including the study of cancer, autoimmune disease, transplantation and, more recently, HIV and AIDS.

 Jacques Lacan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although Lacan is a major figure in the history of psychoanalysis, he made his most significant contributions not in the traditional form of books and journal articles, but through seminar lectures - in fact, he explicitly disclaimed publication in his later life.
Furthermore, the accuracy of the transcriptions of the seminars is disputed, with Sherry Turkle claiming that Jacques-Alain Miller, Lacan's son-in-law, made extensive changes to add clarity to the material (Turkle, Psychoanalytic Politics: Jacques Lacan and Freud's French Revolution, p.
Although Lacan is often associated with it, he was not without his critics from within the major figures of what is broadly termed postmodernism.

 The Australian Institute of Political Science
The Florey Medal 2000 is awarded to Jacques Miller for his discovery of the function of the thymus.
Miller's work was greeted intially with scepticism, but he continued to prove his findings and to win, gradually, international recognition and honour.
Miller and Mitchell also established the crucial relationship between the B cells and T cells, proving that B cells required T cell help to function effectively.

 Science Show - 13/09/2003: Prime Ministers Science Prizes
Here Jacques Miller explains how he stumbled on the role of the thymus when he was researching leukaemia in mice by following the behaviour of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.
Jacques Miller: One of the things I wanted to do as a research project was to investigate an unknown virus at the time, or little known virus, which was supposed to induce leukaemia in mice according to some people.
Jacques Miller: And finally I’d like you all to spare a thought for the millions of mice that had to be used for this work, without which I would not be standing here tonight.

 Alibris: Jacques Lacan
Often controversial, always inspired, French intellectual Jacques Lacan begins the twentieth year of his famous Seminar by weighing theories of the relationship between the desire for love and the attainment of knowledge from such influential and diverse thinkers as Aristotle, Marx, and Freud.
Jacques Lacan's annual seminars were a primary way through which he developed and presented his theories.
Miller conducted this course in Paris ten years ago and suggested a reading on the politics of psychoanalysis, as situated halfway between science and learned ignorance.

Jacques-Alain Miller - In the present case, though I deplore the hasty departure of Claude Cherki and the retirement of Françoise Peyrot, I see that a number of features of the identity of Seuil are preserved.
The managing director of Seuil is the son of Paul Flamand, Pascal, whom Judith Miller has know for ages, Isabelle, the daughter of Jean Bardet, remains, and Olivier Cohen seems to be a man of substance.
What is decisive is that a good portion of Lacan's work is there, including all his writing, and that I want to stay close to this work in order to make this tumultuous work exist in the forms which are those of the contemporary publishing existence, and which condition access to the public.

 Spectral to Viola Fair: Literary Orientation: Reading: Carl Jung, Henry Miller, Jacques Derrida, Hermann Hesse, William ...
Miller had just what he said he had: guts, in the city, gathering place of humankind's endless army of ugly killers, some making it a point to be exactly that, others appearing otherwise, even honest.
Unlike Miller, however, poverty also discourages me from writing, for freedom of speech is purchased like anything else.
Which makes Miller all the more intriguing is that he dealt so well with the isolating force of not only poverty but writing.

 Brush with art brings good nudes for scientist - www.theage.com.au
Professor Miller, 72, is the only living person to have discovered the role of an organ, the thymus, in 1961.
The winner of last week's Prime Minister's Science Prize, he went on to identify T cells and B cells and laid the foundation for much of what is known about immunity and disease.
Professor Miller follows not only a family tradition - his French father was Shanghai Art Club president before the family fled China in 1941 - but a longer lineage of scientists with artistic bents.

 John J. Miller & Mark Molesky on Jacques Derrida on National Review Online
It is tempting to say that Jacques Derrida's death has been greatly exaggerated.
The French philosopher was so closely associated with nihilism and metaphysical absence that it's perhaps worth wondering whether he ever lived at all.
When Derrida burst onto the American scene in the 1960s, the reigning idols of academe, Freud and Marx, were losing their luster.

Jacques-Alain Miller: About the form, the smallest common denominator of style in the French press is decidedly "consumer protection".
Jacques-Alain Miller: Lacan didn’t want a critical edition of the Seminar, so I thought of separate volumes that would bring together the material an interested reader might turn to.
Jacques-Alain Miller: We could lay claim to those places of course, but it is more conform to our own vocation to contest the order, to plow our own furrows, and to make an entirely different offer.

 PLEXUS / Lacanian Ink: Jacques-Alain Miller - Joyce avec Lacan - Preface   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
oyce avec Lacan doesn't mean James Joyce and Jacques Lacan walking arm in arm down rue de Lille as I have often seen Jacques Lacan and Jacques Aubert, when the former brought the latter the most recent books of the third.
No, Joyce avec Lacan echoes the singular title of a piece by Lacan, Kant avec Sade, where the already numerous readers of l'Éthique de la psychanalyse could find, if they made the effort of tracing it, the major topic of this seminar, developed, or further illuminated.
But it's not less true that a procedure arises, generalizable to X avec Y. This way of reading through interference may well dignify the paranoid critical method of illustrious memory.

Jacques Francis Albert Pierre Miller is mainly known by his seminal contributions to the understanding of the physiologic role of the thymus gland in the development and maturation of the immune system.
He was born in Nice, France, and educated in Australia, where he attended Saint Aloysius' College in Sydney, before studying medicine at the University of Sydney School of Medicine.
Miller observed that many types of lymphocytic leukemia in mice, either induced by virus, radiation, chemical carcinogens, or spontaneous leukemia occurring in high-leukemic strain mice, always began in the thymus, and then spread.

Between 1969-1970, Jacques Lacan planned to give 4 conferences in the experimental-popular university of Vincennes (Paris), 4 "impromptus" about his formalisation of the 4 discourses (Discourse of the Hysteric, of the Master, of the University, of the Analyst).
The "Premier impromptu de Vincennes" (first impromptu in Vincennes) was finally the first and the last one (the audience was probably still too critical because of May 1968 to receive Lacan's discourse in university).

 THE SEMINAR OF BARCELONA  on Die Wege der Symptombildung
The problem for Freud was also to understand how one can maintain a sexual relation with one’s partner deriving only from the partial drives, where the phallic phase always manifests itself as a discontinuity in the development of the auto-erotic libido.
J.-A. Miller: Despite what appears to be accidental in the choice of this text for today, we are in a fundamental place in the work of Freud and in the teaching of Lacan.
J.-A. Miller: I wonder if there is something forced in reading this concern of Freud’s in distinguishing repression from regression as the testimony itself that he does not manage to articulate the phenomena which he establishes in parallel, and for this same reason that he has to construct his own topography.
