READ MY DESIRE - JOAN COPJEC KARTONIERT (TB)

In Read My Desire  Joan Copjec stages a confrontation between the theories of Jacques Lacan and
Michel Foucault  protagonists of two powerful modern discourses--psychoanalysis and
historicism. Ordinarily  these discourses cross paths only long enough for historiacists to
charge psychoanalysis with an indifference to history  but here psychoanalysis  via Lacan  goes
on the offensive. Refusing to cede historicity to the historicists  Copjec makes a case for the
superiority of Lacan's explanation of historical process  its generative principles  and its
complex functionings. Her goal is to inspire a new kind of cultural critique  one that would be
'literate in desire  ' that would be able to read what is inarticulable in cultural statements.
