Unknown Author

4.9/5 (29806 ratings)

Description:Catherine Clément's THE LIVES AND LEGENDS OF JACQUES LACAN describes and assesses the accomplishments of this major figure in the history of French psychoanalysis who is also no doubt the most controversial. First published in 1981, shortly after the death of Lacan, Clément's book offers a unique and important perspective on the man whom even Newsweek portrayed as both high priest and clown. Clément, herself once a disciple, explains the work of Lacan— in perhaps the only way it can be understood—in the context of his life. The author demonstrates how Lacan's style—the dynamic nature of his character, the force of his presence as teacher-permeated the infamous rhetoric on which his Ecole Freudienne was founded. And she unravels the mystery behind Lacan's sudden dissolution of the school shortly before his death. In a style as vibrant as Lacan's own, but with her journalist's need to communicate, Clément approaches those topics most often associated with Lacan-but not as frequently under-stood. She examines Lacan's interest in the "ecstasy of women," his invaluable contribution to an understanding of the symbolic values of art, and his concept of the sliding signifier which arose from his study of de Saussure's signifier and signified. Perhaps, most importantly, Clément presents a comprehensible explanation of Lacan's discovery of the "mirror stage," —that moment when the child first becomes the "subject," and the notion of the "Other" emerges.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
