Gérard Wajcman explores the drive to gather objects, subsequently analyzing avarice as one of the seven deadly sins, often disparaged and considered an anachronistic habit. Both inquiries converge to demonstrate the validity of the concept of the object in Lacan’s work, both in modernity and in our contemporary era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is structured into two complementary parts. In the first, the author examines the collection as an abstract concept, investigating what it means to put objects together beyond mere accumulation. He questions the logic underlying this act and why it is fundamental to understanding the notion of the object in psychoanalysis. In the second part, he addresses avarice, one of the deadly sins, analyzing why it has been considered an ugly, repulsive, and unmodern habit. Through both analyses, Wajcman demonstrates how the figure of the object, as conceived by Jacques Lacan, remains central to understanding the psychic and cultural dynamics of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe collection as a psychoanalytic and cultural concept, beyond concrete objects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAvarice as a deadly sin and its social valuation as an anachronistic habit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe object in Lacanian theory as a bridge between the drive to gather and possession.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe relevance of Lacanian psychoanalysis in interpreting phenomena of modernity and contemporary life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in Lacanian psychoanalysis, contemporary philosophy, and literary essays that explore clinical psychology.

Wajcman succeeds in articulating two apparently disparate themes—collection and avarice—around the Lacanian concept of the object, demonstrating its relevance for analyzing both the individual psyche and social dynamics. His rigorous approach and his ability to connect theory and contemporaneity make it a recommended read for those seeking to delve into Lacan's thought from an original and current perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MANANTIAL EDICIONES SRL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407604769115,"sku":"9789875001473","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978987500147.jpg?v=1781857646","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9789875001473","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
