No Subject is a free online resource for information related to the interconnected fields of psychoanalysis, politics, and philosophy.
Information is presented in a manner that permits what French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan called a "kind of tightening up" which "leave[s] the reader no other way out than the way in."[1]
Whereas Lacan preferred his writings "to be difficult," the purpose of this website is to provide an accessible "way in," that is, as an authoritative and intelligible introduction to the texts of key thinkers.
The articles are intended to guide the visitor in his or her own interests and to facilitate his or her own studies. For this reason, they are cross-referenced, with links to other relevant articles as well as to external websites and reference materials.
No Subject is a community-driven website where visitors come to acquire knowledge as well as share their own in a collaborative way.
Visitors are invited to contribute by clicking on the "Edit" tab in an article that one wishes to improve.
Thus, the articles presented here are never complete, but rather are continually edited and improved over time, after a long process of discussion, debate and argument.
Visitors should take a few moments to read the tutorial before contributing to this website.
