{"product_id":"jouissance","title":"Jouissance: A Lacanian Concept","description":"\u003cb\u003eA comprehensive discussion of an important but elusive Lacanian concept within the field of psychoanalysis, as well as its relevance for philosophy, literature, gender, and queer studies.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether inscribed within the context of capitalist or neoliberal logic and its imperative to \"enjoy,\" as a critique of all forms of heteronormativity, a liberating force in a positive reading of biopolitics, the point of inflection in the ethics of psychoanalysis, or articulated in the knot of the \u003ci\u003esinthome\u003c\/i\u003e, the concept of \u003ci\u003ejouissance\u003c\/i\u003e is either the diagnosis, response, or solution for a wide range of contemporary discontents. Why does \u003ci\u003ejouissance\u003c\/i\u003e occupy such a central place in contemporary psychoanalytic discourse? What is \u003ci\u003ejouissance\u003c\/i\u003e the name for? Originally published in Spanish in 1990, later expanded and translated into French and Portuguese, with multiple reprints in all three languages, this book addresses both theoretical and clinical applications of \u003ci\u003ejouissance\u003c\/i\u003e through a comprehensive overview of key terms in Lacan's grammar. Néstor A. Braunstein also examines it in relation to central debates within the fields of psychoanalysis, philosophy, queer theory, and literary studies to further explore the implications of Lacan's concept for contemporary thought.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46154868392113,"sku":"9781438479040","price":50.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46154868424881,"sku":"9781438479033","price":135.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kobo eBook","offer_id":46154868457649,"sku":"1a36d688-155d-38be-bcdb-e11b09374e1d","price":42.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_1069b30e-bf68-4bb0-868b-c5bd539944ee.jpg?v=1763222156","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/jouissance","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
