520 _aThe 1981 paperback edition black cover summary: "Psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan is one of the dominant figures in the intellectual life of 20th century France. His commentaries on Freud have not only revolutionised the analytic movement but have also had significant repercussions in philosophy and literary criticism. Lacan believes that if the unconscious, as Freud described it, exists, it functions linguistically rather than symbolically or instinctually. He refers to the unconscious as a language: "the discourse of the Other." A mixture of poetry, penetration and wilful obscurity, "Speech and language in psychoanalysis" is less a new study of psychoanalysis than a significant and fertile return to the heart of the Freudian texts. Lacan has shown a new generation how to read Freud. Originally published as "The language of the self: the function of language in psychoanalysis", this book is based upon Anthony Wilden's translation of "Fonction et champ de la parole et du langage en psychanalyse" in 'La Psychanalyse', a 1953 article that has become a manifesto for those interested in a new reading of Freud. Wilden considerably expands and amplifies the text with extensive notes and has included a separate study that explains Lacan's work and also relates it to the context of contemporary thought. [Anthony Wilden was professor of communications at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, being the author of "System and structure: essays in communication and exchange" and "The imaginary Canadian"]
