Lacan and the Subject of Language

Lacan and the Subject of Language presents a foray into the complex and various teachings of Jacques Lacan. These new essays shed light on Lacan's innovative theories of what "language" is and what "the subject" is. Although derived from the work of one single figure, these essays present the remarkbale diversity of Lacanian analysis. A major contribution to the new reception of Jacques Lacan in the English-speakin g world (la nouvelle psychoanalyse), Lacan and the Subject of Language will challenge those who believe that they have already "mastered" Lacanian thought.
