He explores not only the variations that the concept has undergone throughout its history - from Ancient Greek discourse around \u003ci\u003ephantasia\u003c\/i\u003e to the present day - but also the changing consequences of its applications. \u003ci\u003eLacanian Fantasy\u003c\/i\u003e includes further insights on our current predicament: the age of the social media image and fantasy in the uncertain 'locked down' world of a pandemic. Spanning numerous examples, both historical and recent, this book explores relatable forms of fantasy life. In bridging psychology and philosophy, as well as gender and sexuality studies, it ultimately opens new perspectives on fantasy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to psychoanalytic practitioners and humanities scholars, as well as students interested in critical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirk Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032105933\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032105932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Kirk Turner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070904955135,"sku":"9781032105932","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_995f8fbc-d28a-4c66-b1c6-c16f9d8c41c6.jpg?v=1685433013","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lacanian-fantasy-kirk-turner-9781032105932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
