This book is the first to systematically investigate how the [[notion]] of [[time]] is conceptualised in Jacques [[Lacan]]'s [[work]]. Through a careful examination of Lacan's various presentations of time, Chenyang Wang argues that this notion is key to a comprehension of Lacan's [[psychoanalytic]] [[thinking]], and in [[particular]] to the way in which he theorises [[subjectivity]]. This book demonstrates that time is approached by Lacan not only as consciously experienced, but also as pre-reflectively embodied and [[symbolically]] generated. In an [[analysis]] that begins with Lacan's "[[Logical]] Time" essay, Chenyang Wang articulates [[three]] [[temporal]] [[registers]] that correspond to Lacan's [[Real]]-[[Symbolic]]-[[Imaginary]] [[triad]] and also demonstrates how Lacan's elaboration of [[other]] major themes including [[consciousness]], [[body]], [[language]], [[desire]] and [[sexuality]] is informed by his original perspectives on time. Filling a significant gap in contemporary [[Lacanian]] studies, this book will provide essential [[reading]] for students and scholars of psychoanalytic [[theory]], continental [[philosophy]] and [[critical theory]].
