Based on the work of the various schools, the AMP-Blog n° 5 launches the movement towards the WAP congress to be held in Paris from April 30 th to may 3rd 2026 under the title: "There is no sexual relation".

If – as illustrated by the congress poster- the sexual relation is as impossible for the speaking being as the encounter of the whale and the polar bear ^[1] this fundamental failure opens up to singular inventions. Which are these in our time?

This is the question addressed by each of the six psychoanalysts who contributed to this multilingual issue.

• Patricia BOSQUIN-CAROZ – « Les amours douloureuses»
• Jérôme LECAUX – « Werther ou l'amour de l'idéal »
• Jorge ASSEF – « Un amor más digno: entre invención y diferencia »
• Ludmilla FÉRES FARIA – « A ilusão da relação sexual »
• José Juan RUIZ REYES – « El aforismo que sostiene el discurso analítico »
• Umberto CAVALLI – « Slegami ».
