Teoksen Stay, Illusion!: The Hamlet Doctrine tekijä
Tietoja tekijästä
Jamieson Webster argues that the life and death of psychoanalysis hinges on the question of desire itself, bringing this question back to the center of psychoanalytic theory and practice. Pursued through her own relation to the field, she recounts the story of her training through the näytä lisää interpretation of three significant dreams, as well as her encounter with three thinkers for whom the problem of psychoanalysis remains crucial: Adorno, Lacan, and Badiou. In blurring the line between the personal and the theoretical, this book explores how one, through the difficult work of transference and reading, can live out the life of desire that tests the very limits of what it means to be human. näytä vähemmän

My impressions of this text were very up and down, mostly down. That response wedges open a question as to what were my expectations. Most simply, I went to the text for Simon Critchley. He has been brilliant rel="nofollow" target="_top">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11538399-the-faith-of-the-faithless but has recently disappointed me, his pop ruminations on mortality proved rather annoying. So Critchley and his wife Jamieson Webster, a psychoanalyst, penned this swarm of brief essays on Hamlet. Too coy to be simply analytical, instead Stay, Illusion! scampers about from approach to approach, fingering the pulse of Nietzsche, Carl Schmitt, Freud and Lacan for their takes on Prince of Denmark and fomenting a crackle and foam of hogwash. Do weed further Hamlet theorizing? Should married couples collaborate on authorship? Why the FUCK, was Derrida's Spectres of Marx not mentioned?
There is a later echo devoted to Joyce and Bataille, but the damage had already been inflicted. Ophelia is the hero of the play, akin to Antigone but more pungent and sexual. Politics do matter critically/contextually, as a free association between Gertrude and Mary Queen of Scots couldn't be allowed to hatch on stage.
