Product Description
Review
'Written in a clear, immensely readable, systematic style, - Lacan and the Political demonstrates that Lacanian psychoanalysis does have precise political consequences: it involves a theory of the political which firmly endorses the stance of radical democracy. Stavrakakis' book is much more than an important contribution to the ongoing debate: it redefines its very terms.'
'Lacan and the Political provides both a thorough and clear presentation of the basic Lacanian concepts and the most insightful and innovative attempt so far to apply them to the study of contemporary social and political phenomena.' - Ernesto Laclau, University of Essex
Product Description
Yannis Stavrakakis examines Lacan's challenging views on time, history, language, alterity, desire and sexuality from a political standpoint.
