The Lacanian Teacher: Education, Pedagogy and Enjoyment

What does it mean to be a Lacanian teacher? This book responds through three avenues: what Lacan had to say about teaching, how Lacan taught his seminars, and what his theoretical ideas might have to say about teaching in general. The authors propose a rethinking of the teacher, the relationship between teacher and their fantasmatic educational landscape, a deconstruction of pedagogy, and a consideration of the teacher's enjoyment. An original understanding of the ontological dimension of education is proposed, along with an account of the implications this has for the thinking and being of a teacher. This book represents a valuable addition to the emerging body of Lacanian critical work in education and offers fresh insights for practitioners and scholars in the fields of education and psychoanalysis.
