Lacan Scholar Elisabeth Roudinesco in discussion with Professor Dany Nobus

Acclaimed French intellectual and expert on controversial psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, Elisabeth Roudinesco  will make a rare London appearance to discuss Lacan's legacy with Professor Dany Nobus.

Lacan: In Spite of Everything explores the psychoanalyst’s momentous impact on modernity and his revival of Freudian theories. As France’s leading expert on the subject, Roudinesco offers a balanced and comprehensive insight into the intricate world of psychoanalysis . Though much discussed, Lacan is often misunderstood, and this book reveals a fresh take on his complex theories by examining previously overlooked elements of his intellectual development. Having built an illustrious career studying the shifts in psychoanalysis that emerged in 1960s Paris, Roudinesco is deft at decoding the poeticised semantics with a clear prose style. This is a unique opportunity to hear the esteemed French academic discussing the ‘ French Freud ’ in the historic surroundings of the Freud Museum .
