Translated by David Macey, this authoritative volume systematically presents Lacan's theoretical universe, tracing the development of his key concepts — the Mirror Stage, the Other, the symbolic order, and the radical reinterpretation of Freud — with clarity and scholarly precision.\n\nLemaire's work is remarkable for its ability to render accessible a body of thought that resists easy summary, guiding the reader through the labyrinthine structures of Lacanian psychoanalysis without sacrificing intellectual depth. The text situates Lacan within the broader currents of structuralism and post-structuralism, illustrating how his reformulation of the unconscious as structured like a language reshaped not only clinical practice but also literary theory, cultural studies, and feminist thought. Published by Routledge \u0026amp; Kegan Paul, this edition stands as an indispensable gateway for any serious student of Lacan — one that raises as many questions as it answers, leaving the reader forever altered in their understanding of subjectivity, desire, and the speaking self.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572732596443,"sku":"2026100011076-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/16b5e010-ba7a-4803-85df-578a1f9ab11f.png?v=1791167398","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011076-secondhand-jacques-lacan","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
