Lacan’s Formations of the Unconscious reinterprets Freudian theory through the structures of language, exploring how jokes, slips, and metaphors reveal unconscious meaning. Delving into the signifying chain, desire, and the subject’s relationship to the Other, the seminar dissects the role of the father in shaping the Symbolic order. With intricate diagrams and psychoanalytic insights, Lacan unravels the hidden architecture of the unconscious.
