In this first English translation of a classic text by one of the
foremost commentators on Lacan's work, Nasio eloquently
demonstrates the clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory,
even in its most difficult or obscure moments.
Five Lessons on the Psychoanalytic Theory of Jacques Lacan is
the first English translation of a classic text by one of the
foremost commentators on Lacan's work. Juan-David Nasio makes
numerous theoretical advances and eloquently demonstrates the
clinical and practical import of Lacan's theory, even in its most
difficult or obscure moments. What is distinctive, in the end,
about Nasio's treatment of Lacan's theory is the extent to which
Lacan's fundamental concepts -- the unconscious, jouissance, and
the body -- become the locus of the overturning or exceeding of the
discrete boundaries of the individual. The recognition of the of
the implications of Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, then, brings the
analyst to adopt what Nasio calls a "special listening".

Dominique Janicaud claimed that every French intellectual
movement-from existentialism to psychoanalysis-was influenced by
Martin Heidegger. This translation of Janicaud's landmark work,
Heidegger en France, details Heidegger's reception in philosophy
and other humanistic and social science disciplines. Interviews
with key French thinkers such as Francoise Dastur, Jacques Derrida,
Eliane Escoubas, Jean Greisch, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, Jean-Luc
Marion, and Jean-Luc Nancy are included and provide further
reflection on Heidegger's relationship to French philosophy. An
intellectual undertaking of authoritative scope, this work
furnishes a thorough history of the French reception of Heidegger's
thought.
Our contemporary challenge, according to Jean-Luc Nancy and
Aurelien Barrau, is that a new world has stolen up on us. We no
longer live in a world, but in worlds. We do not live in a universe
anymore, but rather in a multiverse. We no longer create; we
appropriate and montage. And we no longer build sovereign,
hierarchical political institutions; we form local assemblies and
networks of cross-national assemblages and we do this at the same
time as we form multinational corporations that no longer pay taxes
to the state. In such a time, one of the world's most eminent
philosophers and an emerging astrophysicist return to the ancient
art of cosmology. Nancy and Barrau's work is a study of life,
plural worlds, and what the authors call the struction or
rebuilding of these worlds.
Nancy and Barrau invite us on an uncharted walk into barely known
worlds when an everyday French idiom, "What's this world coming
to?," is used to question our conventional thinking about the
world. We soon find ourselves living among heaps of odd bits and
pieces that are amassing without any unifying force or center,
living not only in a time of ruin and fragmentation but in one of
rebuilding. Astrophysicist Aurelien Barrau articulates a major
shift in the paradigm of contemporary physics from a universe to a
multiverse. Meanwhile, Jean-Luc Nancy's essay "Of Struction" is a
contemporary comment on the project of deconstruction and French
poststructuralist thought. Together Barrau and Nancy argue that
contemporary thought has shifted from deconstruction to what they
carefully call the struction of dis-order.

practical import of Lacan's theory. Topics include the linguistic
structure of the unconscious, the unconscious as the displacement

and suggests some possible critical readings from various
