Last update: Mgr. Lenka Halbichová (13.09.2016)

This is one of the courses of the UPCES programme (the Undergraduate Program in Central European Studies); the comprehensive information is available at: http://fhs.cuni.cz/FHSENG-350.html#2. This course examines in detail a select band of the seminars offered by the major post-Freudian psychoanalytic thinker, teacher and practitioner, Jacques Lacan (1901-81), and some outstanding Lacan-criticism. The course also covers some important post-Lacanian thinkers with special reference to Slavoj Žižek (1949-) and to Julia Kristeva (1940-) in order to use psychoanalysis as a powerful critical tool to diagnose both individual and social reality, as well as individual artworks.
