Exploring Lacan-s Encore Seminar XX examines the themes presented in Encore, the seminar presented by Lacan between 1972 and 1975.
Raul Moncayo, Barri Belnap, and Greg Farr focus on Lacan-s presentation of the theory of the Third Jouissance, clarifying the difference between jouissance as a concept and as a word. The authors argue that although there are many words that Lacan uses for jouissance, there are only five concepts of jouissance: the first is inconvenient, the second is convenient and inconvenient, while the last three are convenient and constructive.
Exploring Lacan-s Encore Seminar XX will be essential reading for academics and scholars of Lacanian studies, Lacanian analysts, and readers interested in Lacan-s theories of the 1970s.
