About the Book

In this major work, leading theorist Samuel Weber provides a much-needed introduction to the thought of Jacques Lacan. Professor Weber approaches his subject from a dual perspective: he reads Lacan in the light of Freud (whose work Lacan is concerned to interpret), and from the perspective of structuralism, above all Saussure, from whom Lacan borrows and develops a distinctive conception of language as 'signifier'. Lacan is shown to contribute crucially to the rethinking of subjectivity that marks much of contemporary literary theory, and his 'return to Freud' - the complex relationship between his work and its Freudian antecedents - is explored extensively. The result, made available here for the first time in English (in a form thoroughly revised, updated, and augmented by the author) is a constantly illuminating work of intellectual enquiry, with important implications for our age.

Table of Contents:
Translator's introduction; Prefatory note; 1. Introduction; 2. Mistaken identity: Lacan's theory of the 'Mirror Stage'; 3. The unconscious chess player; 4. The rise and fall of the signifier; 5. Significant fallout: metonymy and metaphor; 6. Spades and hearts: the subject as stylus; 7. The subject as 'Fader': the imaginary and the symbolic; 8. 'When someone speaks, it gets light': demand; 9. The signification of the Phallus; Appendix.

Review :
'One of the best introductions to the work of Jacques Lacan. A book that is indispensable to an understanding of the structuralist and/or post-structuralist manner of thinking and writing.' Jean-Francois Lyotard
