In "History After Lacan, " Teresa Brennan argues that Jacques Lacan
was not an ahistorical post-structuralist. She tells the story of a
social psychosis, beginning with a discussion of Lacan's neglected
theory of history which argued that we are in the grip of a
psychotic's era which began in the seventeenth century and climaxes
in the present.
By extending and elaborating on Lacan's theory, Brennan develops a
general theory of modernity. Contrary to postmodern assumptions,
she argues, we need a general historical explanation. An
understanding of historical dynamics is essential if we are to make
the connections between the outstanding facts of
modernity--ethnocentrism, the relation between the sexes, and
ecological catastrophe.
A challenging feminist, interdisciplinary study, "History After
Lacan" will be essential reading for social, cultural, and
political theorists, historians, psychoanalysts, and literary
theorists.
