Reviews

"""By focusing on one of Lacan's signature concepts - extimacy - the essays in this impressive collection manage to illuminate the core contributions of psychoanalysis to modern thought. The repercussions of the psychoanalytic shift are explored as they manifest themselves in a range of disciplines and in answer to a variety of stubborn problems, including race, violence, authority. These essays patiently unfold fresh insights.""--Joan Copjec, Brown University"
