Recenzje

"In the last decades, 'jouissance' has emerged as the new master-signifier of those who refer to Lacan, turning it into a vague designation with no precise content. Here enters Leader, who proves that there is a strict conceptual network to jouissance with its own often different logics. To use Freud's and Lacan's notion of retroactivity, it is only with Leader's booklet that we clearly see who Lacan was."Slavoj ?i?ek, philosopher and professor at the Institute of Sociology, Ljubljana, Slovenia."Impeccably researched and beautifully written, this nimble volume brims with sparkling new insights about the endlessly fascinating and deeply problematic relation between pleasure, sex and satisfaction. This book is a precious little gem, which will appeal to a very wide readership."Dany Nobus, Professor of Psychoanalytic Psychology, Brunel University London
