The Lacanian Review: Issue 3: Segregations: Desire as Subversions of Identity

Today, segregation is part of everyone’s daily life. Identity Politics put up new barriers and the multiplication of identity claims implies a development of segregations. In the past, segregation came from the Other, one was subjected to it, but today it self-regulated, wanted, demanded even.

The third issue of The Lacanian Review shows how psychoanalysis accounts for the contemporary extension of segregative processes. It formalises its psychical mechanisms at a time at which the pure subject of science has replaced the subject of desire, the latter being always subversive, and at which the logic of thinking/classifying applies to speaking bodies.
