This book is the first to systematically investigate how the notion of time is conceptualised in Jacques Lacan’s work. Through a careful examination of Lacan’s various presentations of time, Chenyang Wang argues that this notion is key to a comprehension of Lacan’s psychoanalytic thinking, and in particular to the way in which he theorises subjectivity. This book demonstrates that time is approached by Lacan not only as consciously experienced, but also as pre-reflectively embodied and symbolically generated. In an analysis that begins with Lacan’s “Logical Time” essay, Chenyang Wang articulates three temporal registers that correspond to Lacan's Real-Symbolic-Imaginary triad and also demonstrates how Lacan’s elaboration of other major themes including consciousness, body, language, desire and sexuality is informed by his original perspectives on time. Filling a significant gap in contemporary Lacanian studies, this book will provide essential reading for students and scholars of psychoanalytic theory, continental philosophy and critical theory.
“Chenyang Wang's masterpiece reminds us that time is for Lacan a logical category, not a category of our experience of reality. Time structures the processes of unconscious reasoning and identification: WHEN something is said or done determines the truth of what is said or is done. In these crazy times this lesson is crucial even for our political activity. So don't be too late, act now and read Wang's book!” (Slavoj Žižek, Professor of Philosophy at the European Graduate School)
“Psychoanalysis, from its very inception, has revealed the complexity of the roles of time in human experience. Yet, systematic reckonings with the multiple modes of analytic temporality remain rare over a century after Freud’s initial discoveries. Chenyang Wang’s Subjectivity In-Between Times provides a lucid, rigorous, and non-dogmatic exploration of the temporal dimensions of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis. Wang insightfully works through and creatively reinvents analysis’s core concepts through the prism of time.” (Adrian Johnston, Chair of and Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of New Mexico)
“This new book on Lacan and time is an incisive and novel intervention in psychoanalytic studies. It offers a thorough and remarkably clear account of Lacan’s work from the perspective of temporalities. In so doing, it asks us to rethink much of Lacanian theory, especially the central idea of the Imaginary, Symbolic and Real, in ways that have important theoretical, clinical and political implications.” (Stephen Frosh, Professor of Psychology, Department of Psychosocial Studies, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK)

听完梅洛讲这本书的课,理论的高光时刻太多太多,这种从问题和矛盾入手的研究方法/策略也极为受用,比很多对拉康进行单纯的梳理/阐述/无脑当枪使/套个案的书都要有趣。

其实时间是个有意思的话题,但我觉得这里的谈论并不是特别紧密。好像硬贴上去的,增加点新意,但实际还是和一般的拉康研究差不多。

太感谢了!好多内容正是我在阅读拉康文本过程中不断让我想破头想把拉康拉到面前问问的问题!
