Jacques Lacan is now regarded as a major psychoanalytical theorist alongside Freud and Jung, although recognition has been delayed by fierce arguments over his ideas. Written by a leading Lacanian analyst, "Introducing Lacan" guides the reader through his innovations, including his work on paranoia, his addition of structural linguistics to Freudianism and his ideas on the infant 'mirror phase'. It also traces Lacan's influence in postmodern critical thinking on art, literature, philosophy and feminism. This is the ideal introduction for anyone intrigued by Lacan's ideas but discouraged by the complexity of his writings.Ver libro

“By turns heartbreaking and heart-swelling, this is the story of a working-class boy overcoming grinding violence to play among the rock gods. Every hopeless boy should read it.” - Caitlin Moran Jack Jones is a wordsmith with a guitar. Best known as the singer and guitarist of TRAMPOLENE and lead guitarist with Peter Doherty & The Puta Madres, his work blends spoken word, raw honesty, and melodic power. TRAMPOLENE’s fierce, poetic rock ’n’ roll has won the admiration of The Libertines, Liam Gallagher, and John Cooper Clarke, with two No.1 Independent Albums and the honour of opening Swansea Arena in 2022. Jack’s story is one of survival and defiance. By five he had survived a bone tumour and begun to see the cracks in the world; by sixteen he was living with Crohn’s Disease. Through it all, the constants have been his blistering guitar and his poetry - about the struggles and dreams of everyday life, about love, adversity, growing up in Swansea, and seeing the world as it is. “Jack Jones’ words light up the printed page like magnesium released into oxygen.” - Pete Paphides This audiobook gathers that same voice - sharp, funny, vulnerable, and unflinchingly real.Ver libro
