[BRIEF NOTE] On Lacan
Jun. 11th, 2010 07:06 pmI really don't understand the systems of Jacques Lacan.
Back in 2003, when I went to Queen's, on account of my theory-light background I was sent to Literary Theory class. I actually enjoyed it; I understood most of it. But not Lacan. The man's thought was so impenetrable that even Introducing Lacan, that wonderful illustrated guide to his thought, was no help.
No more. I want to beat Lacan; I also want to be able to judge whether his Slovenian disciple Žižek has anything worthwhile to say. So, back to Introducing Lacan! I'll share my learning--at least what I think will be accurate learning--with you later on.
