Talk:Jacques Lacan
Lacan carried out influential work in reinterpretating Freudian psychoanalysis in light of developments in structural linguistics and anthropology.
One of the most important -- and most controversial -- figures in the history of psychoanalysis, Lacan is also acknowledged for his influence across a broad range of disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences, from the field of cultural studies, literary and film criticism, to the field of social and political theory, women and gender studies, and philosophy.
