Description

Anxiety: A Seminar by Jacques Lacan explores the nature of anxiety, suggesting that it is not nostalgia for the object that causes anxiety but rather its imminence. In this 1962-63 seminar, Lacan examines recurring themes such as anxiety between jouissance and desire, counter-transference and interpretation, and the fantasy and its frame. Lacan leads his audience through a range of complex ideas, including the concept of the 'analyst's desire', in a careful and considered approach. This important volume forms Book X of The Seminar of Jacques Lacan and will be of great interest to students and practitioners of psychoanalysis, as well as scholars in literature, critical theory, sociology, psychology, and gender studies. Anxiety is now available for the first time in English, offering insights into the work of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century.
