Lacan demands decades of study, starting by his Seminars, and Écrits, and Autres Écrits. I repeat, as a student of Lacan: Lacan demands a lot of effort, especially when explained in English. May I indicate a good book: Bruce Fink's THE LACANIAN SUBJECT. Etc. To start studying Lacan is better in a small group, oriented by someone who knows not only what he said and is published, but it also demands that that person practices a Lacanian analysis. That demands decades. Good luck !
Vitor, thanks, and of course I agree. The challenge of this series of videos was to select and compress what I think of as essential points of reference for first year art students. The alternative in the case of Lacan would be not to mention him. But would you advocate that?
Thank you. I was always very curious about Lacan but couldn't dare to start yet.

@@JamesElkins Hi, James, of course not. For me psychoanalysis is Freud and then Lacan. No time to waste with the others. Lacan is a genius.
