A collection of thirty-five [[theoretical]] [[texts]] written between 1936 and 1966. [[Écrits]] has been characterized as elitist by [[Jean-Claude Milner]], but [[Slavoj Žižek]] claims that <blockquote>In fact, Lacan’s [[seminars]] and [[ecrits]] relate like analysand’s and analyst’s [[speech]] in the [[treatment]]. In seminars, [[Lacan]] [[acts]] as [[analysand]], he “freely associates,” improvises, jumps, addressing his [[public]], which is thus put into the [[role]] of a kind of collective [[analyst]]. In comparison, his writings are more condensed, formulaic, and they throw at the reader unreadable ambiguous propositions which often appear like oracles, challenging the reader to start [[working]] on [[them]], to translate them into clear theses and provide examples and [[logical]] demonstrations of them.[http: A Selection]//www.lacan.com/zizhowto.html]</blockquote>
