Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Revolutionary and innovative, Jacques Lacan's work lies at the epicenter of modern thought about otherness, subjectivity, sexual difference, the law, and enjoyment.

This new translation of Lacan's yearlong deliberation on psychoanalysis and contemporary social order offers welcome, readable access to the brilliant author's seminal thinking on Freud, Marx, and Hegel; patterns of social and sexual behavior; and the nature and function of science and knowledge in the contemporary world.


About the Author

Russell Grigg practices psychoanalysis and teaches philosophy and psychoanalytic studies at Deakin University. He lives in Melbourne, Australia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who wants to be a Lacanianaire?, March 20, 2009
By Lost Lacanian (Lost-in, CA) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Seminar XVII is one of the most important of Lacan's seminars. This famous seminar takes place during the 60s student movements, and it is where Lacan gives his famous rebuttal: "All of you revolutionaries want another master, and you will get one!" This is also the place where Lacan elaborates his theory of the four discourses, which is often cited and commented on by Zizek, Copjec, Badiou, Zupancic, Fink, and others. Quite frankly, anyone interested in studying Lacan MUST read this seminar.

But what makes this particular edition so valuable is Russell Grigg's wonderful translation. Along with Fink, Grigg is one of Lacan's most erudite and faithful translators. Lacan has acquired, what I think, is an unjustified reputation for being inscrutable. This reputation, I think, has to do with his translators. In particular, Alan Sheridan. Sheridan's horrendous translations of Ecrit: A Selection (which thankfully is retranslated by Fink) and seminar XI (which is unforunate since this is one of Lacan's most important seminars, as it takes place after he had been expelled from the SFP) are singularly responsible for this unwarranted reputation. Grigg's translation is therefore a welcomed intervention, as it makes seminar XVII (as with his translation of seminar III) most readable. There is no akward phrasing or attempt to mystify Lacan's meaning. Rather, it is translated with utmost care and attention. I venture to guess that even a beginner could pick this book up and get a grip on Lacan's project.
