Whether inscribed within the context of capitalist or neoliberal logic and its imperative to ‘enjoy, ‘ as a critique of all forms of heteronormativity, a liberating force in a positive reading of biopolitics, the point of inflection in the ethics of psychoanalysis, or articulated in the knot of the
sinthome, the concept of
jouissance is either the diagnosis, response, or solution for a wide range of contemporary discontents. Why does
jouissance occupy such a central place in contemporary psychoanalytic discourse? What is
jouissance the name for? Originally published in Spanish in 1990, later expanded and translated into French and Portuguese, with multiple reprints in all three languages, this book addresses both theoretical and clinical applications of
jouissance through a comprehensive overview of key terms in Lacan’s grammar. Néstor A. Braunstein also examines it in relation to central debates within the fields of psychoanalysis, philosophy, queer theory, and literary studies to further explore the implications of Lacan’s concept for contemporary thought.
