Left to the vagaries of the Symbolic, interpretation is an endless process of discovering a secret behind a secret. This is why, for Lacan, it is crucial to identify a domain this side of hermeneutics which can eventually put a limit to the hermeneutic delirium: psychoanalysis is not hermeneutics, especially not a deep one. It deals with the subject contemporary to the rise of the modern Real which emerges when meaning is evacuated from reality: not only the scientific real accessible in mathematical formulas, but also, from Sartre to Schelling, the proto-ontological abyss of the inertia of mere real deprived of any meaning. For Lacan, there is thus no need for psychoanalytic hermeneutics religion does this job quite well. Slavoj Zizek

Another solid release from Lacanian Ink,
By Ben Brewer (the Best Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lacanian Ink 34 - Delirium (Paperback)
Overall, as usual, super interesting. Badiou's selections here are not articles at all, but rather previews of a "hypertranslation" of Plato's _Republic_ he is currently working on--I remain skeptical, but it seems like an interesting concept.
Miller's contributions are the most rigorously Lacanian, of course, and helpful. Zizek's article is, again no surprises here, interesting--though this one stands out from the repetitiveness of many of his articles. He begins with the question of the mutual exclusivity of hermeneutics and psychoanalysis (a point, interestingly enough, brought up in the Gadamer-Derrida encounter in Paris in the early 1980s: Dialogue and Deconstruction: The Gadamer-Derrida Encounter (Suny Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy). Some of the other articles are also interesting, most notably,Wajcman's. Overall, an excellent issue from an excellent magazine. But, again, no surprises there--Lacanian Ink (and Lacan.com) rarely disappoint.
