Bristow, Daniel

Opis

What happens when the intellectual giant of twentieth-century literature, James Joyce, is made an object of consideration and cause of desire by the intellectual giant of modern psychoanalysis, Jacques Lacan?　　　　　　

This is what　Joyce and Lacan　explores, in the three closely interrelated areas of reading, writing, and psychoanalysis, by delving into Joyce’s own relationship with psychoanalysis in his lifetime.

Recenzje

Daniel Bristow’s book is a fresh and most inspiring engagement with Jacques Lacan’s late theory, particularly with his reading of Joyce, and of several concepts resulting from this reading. Bristow takes us through this famously difficult material with great lucidity and erudition, as well as – perhaps most importantly – a very clear idea of where he wants to lead us, conceptually, as well as politically.　— Alenka Zupančič
