La conveniencia de correrlos se presenta en tres niveles: el de la consistencia interna de la doctrina y su relación con la experiencia, el de las implicancias clínicas deducibles, y el del modo de concebir la naturaleza del ser hablante y su cultura. Prescindir de ese principio da lugar a una doctrina más consistente y simple...

«¿A quiénes se dirige Deconstruyendo al Joyce de Lacan? ¿A joyceanos, lacanianos o deconstructores? Creo que a los tres, y con un mismo propósito, el de incitarlos a leer a Lacan de otra manera, desde supuestos, presunciones e inclinaciones que, lamentablemente, hoy son todavía inhabituales. Es un tour de forcé, un proyecto que reclama madurez, y Cerruti pone su experiencia de lector, escritor, editor y psicoanalista en el intento de vencer...

El libro rojo es una leyenda en el movimiento junguiano reveladora de los grandes secretos de la vida del maestro.

El hecho de saber que el original estaba en una caja fuerte en un banco en Zúrich lo convertía en un tesoro codiciado.
Después de El libro rojo, surge un nuevo...
