{"product_id":"lacan-isbn-9781844675494","title":"Lacan","description":"Jacques Lacan is the foremost psychoanalytic theorist after Freud. Revolutionising the study of social relations, his work has been a major influence on political theory, philosophy, literature and the arts, but his thought has so far been studied without a serious investigation of its foundations. Just what are the influences on his thinking, so crucial to its proper understanding?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLacan: The Silent Partners\u003c\/i\u003e Slavoj Žižek, the maverick theorist and pre-eminent Lacan scholar, has marshalled some of the greatest thinkers of our age in support of a dazzling re-evaluation of Lacan’s work. Focussing on Lacan’s ‘silent partners’, those who are the hidden inspiration to Lacanian theory, they discuss his work in relation to the Pre-Socratics, Diderot, Hegel, Nietzsche, Schelling, Hölderlin, Wagner, Turgenev, Kafka, Henry James and Artaud.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis major collection, including three essays by Žižek, marks a new era in the study of this unsettling thinker, breathing new life into his classic work.“The Ultimate aim of this present volume is to instigate a new wave of Lananian paranoia: to push readers to engage in the work of their own and start to discern Lacanian motifs everywhere, from politics to trash culture, from obscure ancient philosophers to Franz Kafka.”—Slavoj Žižek\u003cb\u003eSlavoj Žižek\u003c\/b\u003e is a Slovenian philosopher and cultural critic.
