Los Beatles y Lacan
El libro plantea que con los Beatles se termina en Occidente la Edad Moderna y comienza lo que el autor llama "Edad Posmoderna". Sin embargo, el recorrido que plantea Los Beatles y Lacan es mucho más abarcativo: un análisis multidisciplinario de la historia que, con conceptos tomados de la teoría lacaniana, hace un recorrido político-social-cultural para dar con los factores que confluyeron en la década del '60 y en esta banda que, sin lugar a dudas, fue uno de los fenómenos de masas más importantes del siglo XX.

(3.5)
some chapters were definitely stronger than others. It's hard for me to rate books in quantitative terms in general so the number is kinda irrelevant n a placeholder. However I was really pleasantly surprised to read someone articulating my own thoughts in such a comprehensive manner -- though often the theoretical aspects, to me, felt overexplained and redundant. Personally the highlights for me were the bits on peppers modernist funeral and johns psychosexual analysis. Oh also the short rumination on John as a political agitator I thought was really well articulated and in the context of 70sb neoconservativism I definitely feel like his political contributions r forced into a forced dichotomy that I have not yet read anyone else write about!! in general I have my own thoughts on Lacan but I feel like that's once again irrelevant bc in my motivations for reading its just a lens text. Anyway. I had a lot of fun reading this one
