While often taken to designate a fusion of sexuality, suffering and satisfaction, the term has fallen into a purely descriptive use that closes down more questions than it opens up. Although assumed to explain the coalescence of pleasure and pain, it tends to cover a range of quite different issues that should be distinguished rather than conflated. By returning to some of the sources of the concept in Freud, and their elaborations in Lacan, this book hopes to stimulate a debate around the relations of pleasure to pain, autoerotism, the links of satisfaction to arousal, the effects of repression, and the place of the body in psychoanalytic theory. Leader aims to provide context for Lacan's work and encourage dialogue with other analytic traditions.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureSubtitle: Sexuality, Suffering and SatisfactionAuthor: Darian LeaderRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
