..". a work that builds a substantial bridge between Freudian
psychoanalysis and radical feminist thought, particularly on the
subject of lesbianism.... Presenting a complex argument about an
issue vital to the psychoanalytic endeavor as well as to feminist
theory, The Practice of Love should stimulate a reconsideration of
perversion and the construction of sexual fantasy. The illumination
of the fantasies that make lesbian desire distinctive will
necessarily open up our understanding of all sexuality." Jessica
Benjamin, New York Times Book Review
"Teresa de Lauretis has entwined three books into one: a
critical history of psychoanalytic theories of female
homosexuality; a bold study of how lesbians keep disappearing from
popular culture, especially film; and an original speculation on
the dynamics of lesbian desire." Elisabeth Young-Bruehl
"An important and original contribution not only to lesbian and
gay studies, but also to psychoanalytic theory and film criticism.
De Lauretis brings a unique and valuable perspective to issues of
great importance today in all these areas." Leo Bersani
"De Lauretis s influential theory gets top marks from sapphic
scholars who know best." Out
In an eccentric reading of Freud through Laplanche and the
Lacanian and feminist revisions, Teresa de Lauretis delineates a
model of "perverse" desire and a theory of lesbian sexuality. The
Practice of Love discusses classic psychoanalytic narratives of
female homosexuality, contemporary feminist writings on female
sexuality, and the evolution of the original fantasies into
cultural myths or public fantasies."
