Description: "In this analysis of Lacan's twenty-third seminar, "The Synthome," Roberto Harari points to new psychoanalytic pathways that lead beyond Freudian oedipal dynamics." "Lacan's seminar measures the boundaries between creativity and neurosis. We learn how poetry and wordplay may offer alternatives to neurotic pain and even psychotic delusions, with Joyce as our subject.".

"This new translation makes the intricacies of Lacan's seminar available to the English-speaking world for the first time. The author's accessible, vigorous prose explains the nuances of Lacanian theory with perfect clarity."--BOOK JACKET.
