Lalangue, Sinthome, Jouissance, and Nomination

This reading companion and commentary on Lacan Seminar XXIII provides detailed analysis of Lacanâ€™s seminar while maintaining an overall continuity and consistency. This book does not purport to provide an exhaustive and systematic line-by-line reading of a very complex and varied seminar. Rather, it selects key themes of Lacanian theory that are found present throughout his work. In addition, the book does not try to simplify Lacanâ€™s ambiguous style, leaving the text open to different interpretations, while providing theory, commentary, and lines of analysis into some of Lacanâ€™s important insights.

Finally, this book is not about Joyce the writer, but more about the use that Lacan makes of Joyce. Its purpose is not to apply psychoanalysis to a literary subject, but rather to use the literary text to illustrate and develop psychoanalytic theory, and Lacanian theory in particular. It is an analysis of topology and language, or a "linguisterie," as Lacan called it, for clinicians. The references to neurosis and psychosis are always there. However, a Lacanian clinic can also be of service to those interested in literary theory and/or social studies to develop theory within their own respective fields of studies.
