"I Am Counting on the Tourbillon": On the Late Lacan, by Jason E. Smith
“If Lacan’s rightly celebrated Seminar VII from 1959-60 elaborates a properly psychoanalytic ethics through the intransigent figure of Antigone and her refusal to give way on her desire, Badiou and Roudinesco emphasize instead a certain ethical and tragic dimension to Lacan’s late style.” – Jason E. Smith
