Forest Politics in Kenya's Tugen Hills
Forests are a changing environment, impacted as much by people and politics as by the species-rich diversity they contain. This book explores human-sylvan relations in the Katimok forest, Baringo highlands, Kenya, and asks us to rethink the forest beyond questions of access and control of natural resources, as a habitat where forest politics and human lives are inextricably intertwined. Tracing the development of the Katimok forest from colonial times to the present day, the author shows how - as with many forests in Africa - it has become constructed as a category and territory of nature under state control: an area both to be protected and turned into exploitable resources. For those livin...
The Literary Lacan
Some of the most well-known psychoanalysts and literary theorists explore Jacques Lacan's influence on literature. The relationship between literature and psychology is long and richly complex, and no more so than in the work of Jacques Lacan, the most controversial psychoanalyst since Freud. The Literary Lacan: From Literature to "Lituraterre" and Beyond is dedicated to assessing Lacan's significant contribution to literary studies and the contribution, in turn, of literature to Lacanian psychoanalysis. The first essays in this collection provide close readings of Lacan's literature-related work, specifically his work on Hamlet, his homage to Marguerite Duras and Lewis Carroll, his concept ...

No Future
In this searing polemic, Lee Edelman outlines a radically uncompromising new ethics of queer theory. His main target is the all-pervasive figure of the child, which he reads as the linchpin of our universal politics of “reproductive futurism.” Edelman argues that the child, understood as innocence in need of protection, represents the possibility of the future against which the queer is positioned as the embodiment of a relentlessly narcissistic, antisocial, and future-negating drive. He boldly insists that the efficacy of queerness lies in its very willingness to embrace this refusal of the social and political order. In No Future, Edelman urges queers to abandon the stance of accommoda...
Lo que la práctica del psicoanálisis nos enseña
El psicoanálisis no es tan sólo una práctica del significante. Aún menos para la enseñanza lacaniana. El objeto –al que se nombra con una letra, a– pone límite a la serie interminable y ancla en el fantasma, el deseo. Así comienzan estas letras, que fueron primero, palabras dirigidas a un público ávido de las claves que abrieran el gongorino discurso del maestro. En estilo llano que no se iguala a lo sencillo –como dijera Borges, sería nada–, ofrece en fórmula simple el resultado de un arduo recorrido por textos, enseñanzas y una práctica de años en la escucha y la conducción de la cura. A lo simple lo subtiende una lógica y es ella la que hace grata esta propuesta. A...
Lacan and the Concept of the 'Real'

Lacan’s Cruelty
This collection, written by leading Lacanian psychoanalytic theorists and practitioners, is a unique exploration of the novel aspects of perversion from the perspective of cruelty—a psychoanalytic study that has never been sufficiently undertaken in an English-speaking world. Instead of reducing the notion of perversion to cultural representations, a historical discourse or a clinical diagnosis, the authors in this collection draw on Freud, Kant, Hegel, Marquis de Sade, Derrida, Deleuze and Žižek to untie the knot of “psychic cruelty” intrinsic to perversion and therefore “de-sexualize” perverted acts. They do so by theorizing perversion in psychoanalytic concepts of the Oedipus complex, the-Name-of-the-Father and jouissance, and furthermore in the perspective of the clinics of neurosis and psychosis, in dialogue with a clinical praxis, philosophy and literature.

Crisis y porvenir del Psicoanálisis
¿Es el Psicoanálisis una superchería? ¿Son las distintas disensiones teóricas entre los psicoanalistas muestra de su dogmatismo y de la falta de rigor de su Ciencia? ¿Tiene hoy el Psicoanálisis un lugar entre los tratamientos para las enfermedades psiquiátricas y para las dificultades de la existencia? A lo largo de este libro se discuten las bases como Ciencia y como procedimiento terapéutico del Psicoanálisis, cuya evolución es una de las más apasionantes desde finales del siglo XX hasta nuestros días.
