Welcome to No Subject, a free online encylopedia for information related to Lacanian psychoanalysis.
The site is organized as a wiki, which allows user editing -- adding and removing -- of content.
Thus, information is collaboratively written, continuously editted, and gradually improved over time.
In addition, the site is organized as a hypertext database, with a non-linear navigational structure, in which each text is cross-referenced to a number of related texts.
Such a "prevalence of the text," in Lacan's words, "makes possible the kind of tightening up [that] leaves the reader no other way out than the way in."[1]
The aim of the site is to provide an accessible "way in."
