Status Updates From Lacan'da Aşk: VIII. Seminer...

this book constantly fluctuated between 2.5 and 3 stars because one chapter would have wayyy too much freud (lacan loved him) but then there would just be a glorious golden nugget in the next chapter. it's a little disorganized but v comprehensive in terms of looking at the various types of love (romantic, desirous, religious, familial, etc.) the key takeaways at the end was cool :]

Love Is Giving What You Don’t Have. Giving what you have is throwing a party, not love. Lacan.

To speak of love is in itself a jouissance.
Lacan, 1998a, p. 83
