The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan

Beschreibung

The book provides a jargon-free introduction to the thought of Jacques Lacan. Readers will come away with an understanding of concepts like jouissance, the objet a, and the big Other. The book frames Lacan's thought in the history of philosophy and explains it through jokes, films, and popular culture.
