| − | [[Lacan]] takes us on a startling psycholinguistic exploration of the bounds of [[love]] and [[knowledge]]. Often controversial, always inspired, [[French]] [[intellectual]] [[Jacques Lacan]] begins the twentieth year of his famous [[Seminar]] by weighing theories of the relationship between the [[desire]] for [[love]] and the attainment of [[knowledge]] from such influential and diverse thinkers as [[Aristotle]], [[Marx]], and [[Freud]]. From here he leads us through [[mathematics]], [[philosophy]], [[religion]], and, naturally, [[psychoanalysis]] into an entirely new and unexpected way of interpreting the two most fundamental [[human]] [[drive]]s. Anticipated by English-speaking readers for more than twenty years, this annotated translation presents [[Lacan]]'s most sophisticated work on [[love]], [[desire]], and [[jouissance]].
| |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | ==Description==
| |
| − | ''Seminar XX'' is [[Lacan]]'s major work on [[feminine]] [[sexuality]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | In particular he explores the question of [[feminine]] [[desire]] that was absent from his earlier theory of the [[phallus]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is a short [[seminar]] with only 11 presentations and many of these are rather enigmatic and aphoristic, if they are not read in relation to the discussion of [[courtly love]] in ''[[Seminar VII]]'' and the formulation of ''[[jouissance]]'' and [[drive]] in ''[[Seminar XI]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ''[[Seminar XX]]'' develops the idea that the '[[woman does not exist]]' and that she is '[[not-whole]]', but also goes beyond the discussions of [[feminine]] [[sexuality]] to consider the relationship between ''[[jouissance]]'' and [[love]] and the idea of ''[[jouissance]]'' as the ultimate [[limit]] of [[human]] [[knowledge]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the seminar ''[[Encore]]'', [[Lacan]] proposed what he called "[[formulas of sexuation]]" to set down the basic structures of [[male]] and [[female]] [[sexuality]].
