Breaking the text: An introduction to Lacanian discourse analysis

Neill, Calum

Abstract

This paper presents an entry-level approach to Lacanian Discourse Analysis. Along the way it considers crucial issues for textual analysis, arguing that Lacan’s insights provide an important collection of tools and concepts in dealing with textual research in a manner which is neither blind to the intrusion of interpretation nor deaf to the call of creative engagement. The paper is, however, a beginning, never more than a beginning.
