JEAN MICHEL RABATE

¿Por qué un Lacan literario? Basta echar una mirada paciente y exhaustiva a sus ensayos y a los seminarios en los cuales discute obras literarias, para colocar en su justa perspectiva la importante funcion clinica de la literatura para el psicoanalisis lacaniano. Este libro no es una incursion en las aplicaciones de la teoria psicoanalitica a los textos literarios, sino una exploracion del lugar privilegiado que Lacan asigno a la literatura. ¿Por que la enseñanza de Lacan otorga a la literatura un rol que designamos como prominente? ¿Cual era para el la funcion de los argumentos, personajes, intrigas y ejemplos traidos de la literatura? ¿Cual es la especificidad de su manipulacion de los ejemplos literarios si los comparamos a su empleo de otros discursos como la filosofia, las matematicas, o la linguistica?

This interdisciplinary compilation of essays is a welcome tonic for the jet lag or cultural gap between Lacanian discourses warm reception in Latin countries and the resistance Lacanian clinical applications have met with in the Anglophone world. Lacan in America illuminates important and dynamic debates within a cultural context that Lacan himself has modified. Rather than a made-simple approach, this dynamic collection invokes some of the hesitations, contradictions, and evolutions that appear to be the most exciting part of his legacy, in polylogical discussions by Lacanians who are not averse to a critical reexamination of major concepts or textual and political issues. Topics include: a regressive sexual science and a postmodern condition, technological mediation through seduction and resistance, the partisan issues beneath some of the resistances met by Lacanian discourse, and Lacans revelations as responses to Freudian riddles.Demonstrating the vitality of Lacanian thought and its impact on disciplines, from mathematics to gay/lesbian studies, Lacan in America works to edify the fruit of Lacans endless revision, an infinitely propagated transfiguration of his search for the meanings of truth. Lucid and nonpartisan?[this collection] successfully takes the ideas and issues at the heart of Lacans work and legacy and reinspects them through the lens offered by their transportation across the Atlantic, illustrating what has happened to them in their translation--and mistranslation--into and through American intellectual and cultural life.-Daniel Gunn, Department of Comparative Literature and English, The American University of Paris
