Genius and charismatic leader of a psychoanalytic movement that in the 1950s and 1960s provided a focal point for the French intelligentsia, Jacques Lacan attracted a cult following. Ecrits is his most important work, bringing together twenty-seven articles and lectures originally published between 1936 and 1966. Following its first publication in 1966, the book gained Lacan international attention and exercised a powerful influence on contemporary intellectual life.

Review:
'Lacan's work marks a crucial moment in the history of psychoanalysis, a moment which will perhaps prove as significant as Freud's original discovery of the unconscious.' - Colin MacCabe 'Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Georges Bataille had often urged Lacan to publish the text of his seminars: the influence of his teaching can be observed in works by Maurice Blanchot and Michel Foucault... in Roland Barthes's studies on semiology and Louis Althusser's "reading" of Marx. But it can be felt still more basically [in] the current revival of interest in psychoanalysis... the desire for a return to origins which is a common factor in so many avenues of modern thought.' - The Times Literary Supplement

Book Description Condition: Gut. XIV; 338 S.; 24 cm. Gutes Exemplar; Umschlag berieben. - Englisch. - . A true follower of Freud, (Lacan) listens, then speaks. His business is with speech, with the spoken word. All these 'writings' originated as speech, as lectures delivered to gatherings of fellow analysts or students. This selection of the Ecrits-Lacan's own-represents just under half of the original French volume. The earliest in date. The Mirror Stage', was delivered in its original form to the fourteenth International Psychoanalytical Congress in 1936. It reappeared, in a much revised version, at the sixteenth Congress in 1949. 'The Subversion of the Subject and the Dialectic of Desire in the Freudian Unconscious'- one of Lacan's most radical, far-reaching texts - was delivered at a conference of philosophers in 1960. Between the two, we have The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanlaysis' - the celebrated 'Discours de Rome', the longest and most sustained exposition of Lacan's thinking-and six other papers dealing with various aspects of psychoanalytic theory and practice. (Verlagstext) // INHALT : Translator's note page ----- Bibliographical note ----- ONE ----- The mirror stage as formative of the function of the I ----- TWO ----- Aggressivity in psychoanalysis ----- THREE ----- The function and field of speech and language in psychoanalysis ----- FOUR ----- The Freudian thing page ----- FIVE ----- The agency of the letter in the unconscious or reason since Freud.
