Description
The distinguishing feature of Disseminating Lacan is its decidedly interdisciplinary approach. This book brings together diverse research efforts which have remained, until now, isolated in their respective subject-matter areas.
The essays selected here exhibit a threefold discursive movement of dissemination which is implicit in Lacan s texts. First, they bring to light the way in which Lacan s text has been formed through diverse borrowings from various theoretical discourses such as sociology, linguistics, and philosophy. Second, they trace how Lacan s text, in turn, has engaged, affected, and transformed those theoretical disciplines. Third, they suggest some possible critical readings of Lacan from various perspectives and concerns. These critiques, far from refuting Lacan s undeniable contribution to psychoanalysis and to the intellectual world, enrich and advance Lacanian discourse.
