Description
==Description==
This [[seminar]] has been crucial for the wider dissemination of [[Lacan]]ian ideas in the [[humanities]] and [[social science]]s and it provides a constant reference point for [[Slavoj Zizek|Žižek]] as well as [[feminism|feminist]] [[criticism|critics]].
The [[seminar]] contains [[Lacan]]'s only reference to ''[[das Ding]]'' (the [[Thing]]) as well as his reflections on [[sublimation]] and ''[[jouissance]]''.
The [[seminar]] is probably most well known though for [[Lacan]]'s discussion of [[Sophocles]]' [[ancient]] [[Greek]] [[tragedy]] ''[[Antigone]]'', where he elaborates one of his most influential definitions of the [[[ethics]]|ethical]] [[act]] - "not to give way on one's desire" - and [[feminine]] [[sexuality]] in relation to [[courtly love]] [[poetry]].
This seminar is a very accessible and essential reading.
