商品簡介
Grigg (Deakin U., Melbourne, Australia) practices psychoanalysis and teaches philosophy and psychoanalytic studies, yet found time to prepare a new translation of Lacan's seminal thinking as it appeared in a version of Le Seminaire de Jacques Lacan, Livre XVII, L'Envers de las Psychanalyse, 1969-1970 (edited by Jacques-Alain Miller and published by Editions du Seuil, Paris, 1991.) Lacan delivered this seminar about a year after the tumultuous events in France in 1968, and at the time of the foundation of the Department of Psychoanalysis at the U. of Paris (Vincennes); and the context of both are the framework for his wide-ranging discussion of the place of psychoanalysis in the university, the impact of university knowledge on psychoanalysis, and themes related to hysteria, knowledge as a means of jouissance and truth as its sister, the castrated master and the fathers of hordes, myth as it becomes structure, Freud, Marx, Hegel, and patterns of social and sexual behavior.
