Knots: Post-Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Literature and Film, 1st Edition, edited by Jean-Michel Rabaté, brings post-Lacanian psychoanalytic perspectives into direct conversation with literary works and cinema. The volume examines how refreshed theoretical tools interpret diverse texts, films, and cultural practices.
Fourteen specially commissioned essays explore theoretical shifts surrounding the Oedipus complex, the death drive, affect, trauma, and the Lacanian Real. Throughout these readings, contributors consistently retain an emphasis on subjective agency alongside perspectives from feminism, queer studies, and deconstruction.
Included in the Routledge Literary Criticism and Cultural Theory series, the anthology also addresses the dynamics of transference and practical pedagogical approaches for teaching challenging literary texts.
