5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent translation of a key Lacan text., 12 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Seminar of Jacques Lacan: On Feminine Sexuality, the Limits of Love and Knowledge Bk. 20 (Hardcover)
In his translation of this, one of Lacan's late and most provocative seminars, Bruce Fink not only clarifies and corrects mistakes in the Jacqueline Rose translation, _Feminine Sexuality_, but offers the _entire_ Seminar XX with careful attention paid to Lacan's multivalent language. Extensively footnoting Lacan's text, Fink aims to open up fully Lacan's references and wordplay, and this proves to be an approach especially helpful for the non French-speaking reader. Seminar XX may not be the introductory text novice Lacan scholars would wish for, (there are some new books on Lacan by other authors that would be more helpful for those seeking an overview of Lacan's teaching and methodology) but this text could be a good place to start with Lacan per se simply because the translation makes it easier to read than other, more widely read of Lacan's translated texts. Students interested particularly in feminine sexuality and jouissance will find this text key, and there are chapters in which Lacan addresses the limits of knowledge, God and mysticism, and the sexual relation. In this seminar, Lacan also offers exegesis on the four discourse structures and the dense but important sexuation graph, which positions the masculine and feminine in relation to epistemology and the Father's Law. People doing work on Jakobsonian poetics might find the early chapters especially interesting for their critical approach.

4.0 out of 5 stars contains in-depth study of human psychology, 28 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Seminar of Jacques Lacan: On Feminine Sexuality, the Limits of Love and Knowledge Bk. 20 (Hardcover)
I liked this book because of it's sequential and systematical analysis of human behaviour.
