Join psychoanalyst and author Sergio Benvenuto for a discussion of his latest book Conversations with Lacan: Seven Lectures for Understanding Lacan with psychoanalytic psychotherapist and author Professor Dany Nobus. Conversations with Lacan brings a unique, non-partisan approach to the work of Jacques Lacan, linking his psychoanalytic theory and ideas to broader debates in philosophy and the social sciences. In his work, Sergio Benvenuto demonstrates how it is possible to acknowledge the value of Lacanian concepts without necessarily being defined by them.
In accessible, conversational language, Benvenuto provides a clear-sighted overview of key ideas within Lacan’s work, situating them at the apex of the linguistic turn. He deconstructs the three Lacanian orders—the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real—as well as a range of other Lacanian concepts, including alienation and separation, and the Lacanian doctrine of temporality. Arguing that criticism of psychoanalysis for a lack of scientificity should be accepted by the discipline, he also suggests that the work of Lacan can be helpful in re-conceptualizing the role of psychoanalysis in the future.
