This volume analyses the possibilities and limits of Lacanian theory when it comes to studying non-European religions and explores how Lacan can renew our approach to non-European “religious” beliefs. It examines the ways in which Lacan helps us to distance ourselves from the psychical/psychological effects of the universal drive of capitalism.
This volume analyses how forms of the "religious", especially from outside the Western European tradition, shape Lacanian theory. It examines how the universal desire for meaning always expresses the radical impossibility for any speech to communicate something of the Real that is necessarily obscured by our own political existences.
