The Marx through Lacan Vocabulary:
A Compass for Libidinal and Political
Economies

This text explores a set of key concepts in Marxist theory as developed and read
by Lacan, demonstrating links and connections between Marxist thought and
Lacanian practice.
The book examines the complexity of these encounters through the structure
of a comprehensive vocabulary which covers diverse areas, from capitalism
and communism to history, ideology, politics, work, and family. Offering new
perspectives on these concepts in psychoanalysis, as well as in the fields of
political and critical theory, the book brings together contributions from a range of
international experts to demonstrate the dynamic relationship between Marx and
Lacan, as well as illuminating “untranslatable points” which may offer productive
tension between the two. The entries trace the trajectory of Lacan’s appropriation
of Marx’s concepts and analyses how they were questioned, criticized, and
reworked by Lacan, accounting for the wide reach of two thinkers and worlds in
constant homology. Each entry also discusses psychoanalytic debates relating to
the concept and seeks to refine the clinical scope of Marx’s work, demonstrating
its impact on the social and individual dimensions of Lacanian clinical practice.
With a practical and structured approach, The Marx through Lacan Vocabulary
will appeal to psychoanalysts and researchers in a range of fields, including
political science, cultural studies, and philosophy.

The Lines of the Symbolic in Psychoanalysis Series
Series Editor: Ian Parker, Manchester Psychoanalytic Matrix

Psychoanalytic clinical and theoretical work is always embedded in specific

linguistic and cultural contexts and carries their traces, traces which this
series attends to in its focus on multiple contradictory and antagonistic ‘lines
of the Symbolic’. This series takes its cue from Lacan’s psychoanalytic work
on three registers of human experience, the Symbolic, the Imaginary and the
Real, and employs this distinctive understanding of cultural, communication and
embodiment to link with other traditions of cultural, clinical and theoretical
practice beyond the Lacanian symbolic universe. The Lines of the Symbolic
in Psychoanalysis Series provides a reflexive reworking of theoretical and
practical issues, translating psychoanalytic writing from different contexts,
grounding that work in the specific histories and politics that provide the
conditions of possibility for its descriptions and interventions to function. The
series makes connections between different cultural and disciplinary sites in
which psychoanalysis operates, questioning the idea that there could be one
single correct reading and application of Lacan. Its authors trace their own
path, their own line through the Symbolic, situating psychoanalysis in relation
to debates which intersect with Lacanian work, explicating it, extending it and
challenging it.
