Freud, Lacan, and Literature
I'm trying to get my head around the idea that one can psychoanalyze literature. Is there anybody that is familiar with the seminars of Jacque Lacan? I'd like to get some more opinions upon the bases of his opinions and work.
Most specifically, I've been studying His discourse on "The Purloined Letter". The high density of technical jargon makes it very difficult to understand. Maybe somebody knows of a list of definitions for his particular usage of these terms?
Before I get too involved in posting what I think I understand and what I'm trying to apply this knowledge to, I will see if there is any interest.
