From Freud's Hysteric to Lacan's Feminine By: Paul Verhaeghe Publisher: Other Press (RHP) Print ISBN: 9781892746153, 1892746158 eText ISBN: 9781590516713, 1590516710 Format: EPUB Available from $ 15.99 USD SKU 9781590516713 For Sale in US* Only This book describes how Freud attempted to chart hysteria, yet came to a standstill at the problem of woman and her desire, and of how Lacan continued along this road by creating new conceptual tools. The difficulties and upsets encountered by both men are examined. This lucid presentation of the dialectical process that carries Lacan through the evolution of Freud’s thought offers profound insights into the place of the “feminine mystique” in our social fabric. Patiently and carefully, Verhaeghe applies the Lacanian grid to Freud’s text and succeeds in explaining Lacan’s formulations without merely recapitulating his theories. The reader is informed, along the way, not only of Lacan’s take on Freudian ideas, but also of the array of interpretations emerging from other trends in post-Freudian literature, including feminist revisionism.
