Art Sublimation or Symptom

‘This book extends our map of the articulations that link art and psychoanalysis into a new understanding of what they do to each other. Between Lacan and Freud, Caravaggio and Joyce, Hitchcock and Cronenberg, the authors work through the methods of art and the structures of psychoanalytic thinking about art to show us that the roles of sublimation and displacement, symptom amd enunction are at once discursive and aesthetic. The partial identification of the object and discourse, their incomplete relationships and overlappings between them, constitute a new kind of knowledge.
