Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Jacques Lacan: The Basics provides a clear and succinct introduction to the work of Jacques Lacan, one of the key thinkers of the 20th century. Lacan's ideas are applied in the study of the humanities, politics and psychology, as well as contemporary media and the arts, but their complexity makes them impenetrable to many. This book is unique in explaining the key concepts and context, from Lacan's understanding of psychoanalysis to drive and desire, in an accessible way without diluting them beyond meaning. Examples from popular culture are used throughout to emphasise the ideas being discussed, and a full glossary and list of resources for further reading are provided to encourage additional exploration. This engaging and accessible text is essential reading for all those interested in Lacan and his work, including students of psychology, psychoanalysis, literature, politics, cultural studies, film studies and more.
