This collection of specially commissioned essays, first published in 2003, explores key dimensions of Lacan's life and works.

The Cambridge Companion to Lacan

Jean-Michel Rabate

The clinical application of Lacanian discourse, though warmly received elsewhere, has gotten a cold shoulder in the English-speaking world. This collection of essays is aimed at dispelling the idea that Lacan is a theorist unintelligible outside the context of the French language and culture. They address the vitality of Lacanian thought and trace its impact on disciplines as diverse as mathematics and gay and lesbian studies. The 18 contributors are psychoanalysts and academics in comparative literature, art history, women's studies, philosophy, and English, from France and North America. Topics include a regressive sexual science and a "postmodern condition," technological mediation through seduction and resistance, the partisan issues beneath some of the resistances met by Lacanian discourse, and Lacan's revelations as responses to Freudian riddles.
