Lacan in the German-Speaking World

Lacan in the German-Speaking WorldAddresses Lacan's reception in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, offering new perspectives for American readers. This book offers a selection of the best work on Lacan that has been published over the past ten years by RISS, a Swiss journal of Lacanian studies.
