More about the book
Ellie Ragland presents a comprehensive analysis of Jacques Lacan's theories on gender and sexuality, arguing that his insights surpass current gender studies debates. By rereading Freud through Aristotle, she contends that Lacan's perspective promotes a pro-Woman stance, emphasizing the importance of embracing feminine logic in understanding sexual difference. Ragland clarifies complex Lacanian concepts like phallus, castration, and jouissance, asserting that recognizing sexual difference is essential for dialectical thinking. This work challenges essentialist views and redefines feminist interpretations of Lacan.
