Repetition and SubjectivityKierkegaard, Freud, Lacan\nAuthor(s): Bara Kolenc\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: State University of New York Press, United States\nImprint: State University of New York Press\nISBN-13: 9798855805499, 979-8855805499\nSynopsis\nA bold, systematic account of the role of repetition in shaping modern subjectivity for Kierkegaard, Freud, and Lacan.\n\nRepetition and Subjectivity offers an in-depth exploration of the relationship between Kierkegaard's concept of repetition and the psychoanalytic one. Starting from the thesis that what lies at the heart of repetition is an ontological principle of duality, Bara Kolenc introduces four matrices of repetition: deflation, reformation, inflation, and formation. The fourthformationunderlies the modern subject. While the contours of this scheme can be traced back to the ancient Greeks, Kierkegaard is the first to have articulated it fully, paving the way for Freud and Lacan to outline its logic most clearly. Rich and rigo.
