Synopsis
"Lacan and the Subject of Language" presents carefully selected and edited essays from an international conference on "Lacan, Language and Literature". The essays by leading European and American Lacanians, show the broad application of Lacan's theories, to human culture, language, and sexual difference. In general, they offer a critique of previous views of Lacan's unreadability or obscurity, and point to the timeliness of Lacan for contemporary criticism. This book should be of interest to advanced students and teachers of literary theory and psychoanalysis.
