Theology after Lacan (Paperback)

This groundbreaking volume highlights the contemporary relevance of Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) whose linguistic reworking of Freudian analysis radicalized both psychoanalysis and its approach to theology. Part I: Lacan Religion and Others explores the application of Lacan s thought to the phenomena of religion. Part II: Theology and the Other Lacan explores and develops theology in light of Lacan. In both cases a central place is given to Lacan s exposition of the real thereby reflecting the impact of his later work. Contributors include some of the most renowned readers and influential academics in their respective fields: Tina Beattie Lorenzo Chiesa Clayton Crockett Creston Davis Adrian Johnston Katerina Kolozova Thomas Lynch Marcus Pound Carl Raschke Kenneth Reinhard Mario D Amato Noelle Vahanian and Slavoj Zizek. Topics traverse culture art philosophy and politics as well as providing critical exegesis of Lacan s most gnomic utterances on theology including The Triumph of Religion.
