FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book provides 18 lively commentaries on Lacans Seminar VIII, Transference (1960-61) that explore its theoretical and philosophical consequences in the clinic, the classroom, and society. Including contributions from clinicians as well as scholars working in philosophy, literature, and culture studies, the commentaries presented here represent a wide-range of disciplinary perspectives on the concept of transference. Some chapters closely follow the structure of the seminars sessions, while others take up thematic concerns or related sessions such as the commentary on sessions 19 to 22 which deal with Lacans discussion of Claudels CoÛfontaine trilogy. This book is not a compendium to Lacans seminar. Instead it attempts to capture through shorter contributions a spectrum of voices debating, deliberating, and learning with Lacans concept. In doing so it can be seen to engage with transference conceptually in a manner that matches the spirit of Lacans seminar itself.The book will provide an invaluable new resource for Lacan scholars working across the fields of psychoanalytic theory, clinical psychology, philosophy and cultural studies.
