Linked bibliography for the SEP article "Jacques Lacan" by Adrian Johnston
This is an automatically generated and experimental page
If everything goes well, this page should display the bibliography of the aforementioned article as it appears in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, but with links added to PhilPapers records and Google Scholar for your convenience. Some bibliographies are not going to be represented correctly or fully up to date. In general, bibliographies of recent works are going to be much better linked than bibliographies of primary literature and older works. Entries with PhilPapers records have links on their titles. A green link indicates that the item is available online at least partially.
This experiment has been authorized by the editors of the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. The original article and bibliography can be found here.
Several remarks are warranted about the bibliographies of primary and
secondary Lacanian literature below. As regards primary sources, only
fifteen of Lacan’s twenty-six annual seminars have been
published by Jacques-Alain Miller through the Champ freudien series.
As of the end of 2012, the following seminars are available in
official editions: I, II, III, IV, V, VII, VIII, X, XI, XVI, XVII,
XVIII, XIX, XX, and XXIII. Of these, only seven have been published as
authorized English translations by W.W. Norton and Company: I, II,
III, VII, XI, XVII, and XX. The primary sources listed below are the
available book-length texts by Lacan. These lists do not include
various separate essay-length pieces scattered across numerous
places.
As regards secondary sources, I have been highly selective in
compiling the list that follows. There are mountains of literature on
Lacan in multiple languages. Moreover, these bodies of scholarship
cover Lacan’s ideas from a vast array of disciplinary angles.
Considering the context of this overview, the secondary sources listed
below are, for the most part, books in English with more of a
philosophical/theoretical focus.
