About the Author:
Review:
Willy Apollon is a psychoanalyst at GIFRIC in Quebec. Richard Feldstein is Professor of English at Rhode Island College. He is co-editor of Reading Sminar XI: Lacan’s Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis: The Paris Seminars in English, also published by SUNY Press.
“What I like most about this book is its demonstration of the importance and breadth of Lacan’s thought. These papers take up Lacan’s invitation to engage his texts as he did Freud’s, not out of passive discipleship but out of a shared conviction of the consequences of the work of psychoanalysis, that after Freud nothing is quite the same.” ― Michael Payne
“The collection demonstrates the relevance and potential of Lacanian theory beyond specifically psychoanalytic concerns to the wider field of cultural studies. The essays dealing with ideology break ground in their approach to political issues. The collection, taken together, stimulates thought.” ― Janet Thormann Mackintosh
