More about the book
Exploring the intricate relationship between sexuality and communication, the book delves into the idea that satisfaction derived from talking can parallel sexual satisfaction, as suggested by Lacan. It challenges traditional views of sublimation by proposing that verbal expression holds intrinsic sexual value, offering insights into the complexities of sexuality itself. Alenka Zupancic presents sexuality as a philosophical issue within psychoanalysis, specifically through the lenses of Freud and Lacan, diverging from more clinical interpretations of the unconscious.
