Écrits

"Lacan's work marks a crucial moment in the history of psychoanalysis, a moment which will perhaps prove as significant as Freud's original discovery of the unconscious" — Colin MacCabe Genius and charismatic leader of a psychoanalytic movement that in the 1950s and 1960s provided a focal point for the French intelligentsia, Jacques Lacan attracted a cult following. Écrits is his most important work, bringing together twenty-seven articles and lectures originally published between 1936 and 1966. Following its first publication, the book gained Lacan international attention and exercised a powerful influence on contemporary intellectual life. To this day, Lacan's radical, brilliant and complex ideas continue to be highly influential in everything from film theory to art history and literary criticism. Écrits is the essential source for anyone who seeks to understand this seminal thinker and his influence on contemporary thought and culture. Jacques Lacan (1901–1981). Psychoanalyst and critical thinker.
