{"product_id":"9781781688885","title":"Read My Desire","description":"In Read My Desire, Joan Copjec stages a confrontation between  the theories of Jacques Lacan and those of Michel Foucault, protagonists  of two powerful modern disciplines-psychoanalysis and historicism.  Ordinarily, these modes of thinking only cross paths long enough for  historicists to charge psychoanalysis with an indifference to history,  but here psychoanalysis, via Lacan, goes on the offensive. Refusing to  cede history to the historicists, Copjec makes a case for the  superiority of Lacan's explanation of historical processes and  generative principles. Her goal is to inspire a new kind of cultural  critique, one that is \"literate in desire,\" and capable of interpreting  what is unsaid in the manifold operations of culture.","brand":"Joan Copjec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048572141886,"sku":"9781781688885","price":703.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9781781688885_fddbc8a7-d125-4348-8ccc-f4d5b091457c.jpg?v=1707620815","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781781688885","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
