Product Description

Review

. . . an exceptionally clear survey of Freuds and Lacans basic theories . . ..
–Times Literary Supplement, 1/91

. . . the clarity of Groszs exegetical skill is quite remarkable.
–Afterimage, October 1990

This book . . . provides an excellent overview of the contributions of psychoanalysis to feminist questions concerning gendered subjectivity, sexuality and sociopsychical processes of sexual representation. . . . it should prove helpful to feminists who are interested in pushing at the boundaries of psychoanalytic theory to examine its usefulness for dealing with these issues. The readings offered cannot replace our own interpretations of any of the original texts; rather, they instill us with the confidence to do delve in.
–RFR/DRF

Afterimage - October 1990

1.0 out of 5 stars A Deceptive Introduction, Feb 6 2001
By A Customer
This book I think gives the reader an extremely deceptive, confusing and at times blatantly wrong introduction to Lacan. In her preface she states that Lacanian theory has recently been engaged in "topographical and topological researches." Topology, yes, but topography? If to Elisabeth Grosz topography can be confused with Lacan's topology, then you can be assured that the rest of her understanding of the concepts--the phallus, the gaze, the libido, etc., are equally sloppy, imprecise, and unthought through--not to mention blatantly, ridiculously wrong. Its a con game--an exercise in tone and persuasion. Another example: she claims that the only way to read Lacan is to "suspend your logical thinking and judgments, and just believe or have faith that it make sense in the end." If she does not comprehend that in fact there IS a logic to Lacan's thought, and that actually logic is precisely one good way to start entering into his texts (rather than the philosopher's Oh Gee, it sounds like he's saying this), then you know, this book is a total sham.
