Description

Lacan Reframed: Interpreting Key Thinkers for the Arts by Steven Levine is an accessible introduction to the complex ideas of Jacques Lacan. This book uses the language of art and visual culture to explore Lacan's key concepts, making it easier for students who 'think in images' to understand his work. By examining artworks, films, television shows, architecture, fashion, and computer games, Levine guides readers through Lacan's most important ideas, from the Mona Lisa to Bridget Riley's paintings. This highly readable introduction also explores why human beings create and look at art, making it a valuable resource for students of visual arts. This book is part of a series that uses actual examples to explain complex ideas, making it an invaluable tool for anyone looking to understand key thinkers in the arts.
