Pink Herrings engages in a re-examination of six of Freud's cases
via Lacan's account of sexuation. Specifically, the book outlines a
theoretical framework in which sexuation is understood as a
'choice' made in response to the fact of the sexual non
relationship. In making this choice, unconscious fantasy allows for
the circulation of object a, which bear traces of jouissance.
Drawing upon Lacan's distinction between phallic and other
jouissance, Pink Herrings examines the four positions outlined in
Lacan's formula of sexuation, and maps these onto the six case
studies. In so doing, Pink Herrings not only brings new life and
insights to the cases, but also clears a path to what is referred
to as a 'clinic of sexuation'. Such a clinic would not replace
existing Lacanian psychoanalytic practice (with its focus on the
structures of neurosis, perversion and psychosis), but instead
provide additional avenues through which to explore the operations
of fantasy.
