"Lacan and Critical Feminism" is a book by Linda Belau that delves into the intersection of Lacanian psychoanalysis and feminist theory. The author seeks to develop a feminist ethics that is relevant to contemporary gender identities and acceptable to feminist theorists who may be resistant to Lacanian psychoanalysis. The book explores Lacan's theory of discourse and his graph of sexuation, with a focus on the hysteric's resistance to the master signifier. It critiques the dominance of metaphor in society and advocates for the use of metonymy to convey the truths of desire. The author also examines the role of affect, such as guilt and shame, in relation to jouissance and sexual difference. The book concludes by challenging misconceptions about Lacanian psychoanalysis and offering insights into complex issues within the field. [Extracted from the article] |
