In Lacan: The Unconscious Reinvented, Colette Soler takes us beyond the formulas and catchphrases often used to characterize Lacan's work, and enters into a fresh, original and profound dialogue with his thought. Starting from the well-known "the unconscious is structured like language", she asks what led Lacan to speak of a "real unconscious". Soler discusses the key changes in Lacan's work over the years and the implicit questions that motivated these changes. Themes discussed include the unconscious, the symptom, affects, the direction of treatment and the political dimensions of analytic practice. This book will appeal to all those with an interest in Lacan's thought, as well as providing an introduction to the development of his ideas. Table of Contents:
