Jacques Lacan
de Jean-Michel Rabaté · Publicada por primera vez en 2001
"French theorist Jacques Lacan has always been called a 'literary' theoretician. Here, for the first time, is a complete study of his literary analyses and examples, with an account of the importance of literature in the building of his highly original system of thought. Rabate offers a systematic genealogy of Lacan's theory of literature, reconstructing a doctrine based upon Freudian insights, and revitalised through close readings of authors as diverse as Poe, Gide, Shakespeare, Plato, Claudel, Genet, Duras and Joyce. Not simply an essay about Lacan's influences or style, this book shows how the emergence of key terms like the 'letter' and the 'symptom' would not have been possible without innovative readings of literary texts. Lacan's critique of 'applied pscyhoanalysis' (especially in the domain of literary studies) entails a new practice of psychoanalysis understood as a type of textual reading of the Unconscious."--Jacket.
