This collection is the first extended interrogation in any language
of Jacques Lacan's Seminar XVII. Originally delivered just after
the Paris uprisings of May 1968, Seminar XVII marked a turning
point in Lacan's thought; it was both a step forward in the
psychoanalytic debates and an important contribution to social and
political issues. Collecting important analyses by many of the
major Lacanian theorists and practitioners, this anthology is at
once an introduction, critique, and extension of Lacan's
influential ideas.The contributors examine Lacan's theory of the
four discourses, his critique of the Oedipus complex and the
superego, the role of primal affects in political life, and his
prophetic grasp of twenty-first-century developments. They take up
these issues in detail, illuminating the Lacanian concepts with
in-depth discussions of shame and guilt, literature and intimacy,
femininity, perversion, authority and revolt, and the discourse of
marketing and political rhetoric. Topics of more specific
psychoanalytic interest include the role of objet a, philosophy and
psychoanalysis, the status of knowledge, and the relation between
psychoanalytic practices and the modern university. Contributors.
