The relationship between literature and psychology is long and richly complex, and no more so than in the work of Jacques Lacan, the most controversial psychoanalyst since Freud. The Literary Lacan: From Literature to “Lituraterre” and Beyond is dedicated to assessing Lacan’s significant contribution to literary studies and the contribution, in turn, of literature to Lacanian psychoanalysis.     The first essays in this collection provide close readings of Lacan’s literature-related work, specifically his work on Hamlet, his homage to Marguerite Duras and Lewis Carroll, his concept of Lituraterre, and his seminar on James Joyce. Other essays examine Lacan’s theories in conjunction with the works of major writers such as Samuel Beckett. The book concludes with essays that investigate Lacan and literature more broadly, including the applicability of literature to psychoanalysis.     With well-known contributors including Slavoj Žižek, Jacques-Alain Miller, Russell Grigg, and Ellie Ragland, this volume will appeal not only to specialists in literary and Lacanian theory but also to students and enthusiasts of the master and the literature that inspired him.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51054825046289,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054827471121,"sku":"NIN9781803094533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52111101985041,"sku":"NGR9781803094533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1803094532.jpg?v=1751345664"},{"product_id":"major-literary-seminars-of-jacques-lacan-book-santanu-biswas-9781032748009","title":"The Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan","description":"The Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan considers the three key phases of Lacan’s interest in literary topics.  Santanu Biswas first examines the seminars given between 1955 and 1961, in which Lacan spoke on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story \"The Purloined Letter\", Hamlet, Sophocles’ Antigone, and Paul Claudel’s The Coûfontaine Trilogy, and where literature is related to meaning. This is followed by an exploration of Lacan’s seminar on \"Lituraterre\" in 1971, wherein Lacan elaborates on the different ways in which literature appeared to turn towards lituraterre. Finally, Biswas considers Lacan’s 1975–1976 seminar on James Joyce, who created literature out of “litter” and was concerned with jouissance rather than with meaning.  The Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan will be of great interest to Lacanian psychoanalysts, other mental health practitioners interested in the teachings of Lacan, and academics and students of Lacanian studies, literature, and psychoanalysis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51088337797393,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51088340123921,"sku":"NIN9781032748009","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52110950760721,"sku":"NGR9781032748009","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52657087185169,"sku":"NLS9781032748009","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032748001.jpg?v=1750887238"},{"product_id":"major-literary-seminars-of-jacques-lacan-book-santanu-biswas-9781032748030","title":"The Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan\u003c\/i\u003e considers the three key phases of Lacan’s interest in literary topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSantanu Biswas first examines the seminars given between 1955 and 1961, in which Lacan spoke on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story \"The Purloined Letter\", \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, Sophocles’ \u003ci\u003eAntigone\u003c\/i\u003e, and Paul Claudel’s \u003ci\u003eThe Coûfontaine Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e, and where literature is related to meaning.
