Throughout Lacan's oeuvre, there is an apparently irreconcilable relation between psychoanalysis and religion, which has sparked many misunderstandings. In a few words, the inevitability of the existence of the God hypothesis for each and every speaking being does not necessarily entail the belief in a divine essence, quite on the contrary.
What interests Prof. Chiesa the most in such context is that, throughout his many conferences and seminar lessons on Christianity, Lacan invariably locates the harshest of battles between religion and psychoanalysis in the field of love. It seems that this is where Freudianism can defend itself more vigorously, and maybe counter-attack.
Lorenzo Chiesa is, since 2006, Professor of Modern European Thought at the University of Kent, where he also heads the Italian Department of the School of European Culture and Languages. His research interests are in the area of contemporary French thought; contemporary Italian thought and culture; Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis; Marxist theory. He is one of the initiators of the ‘Materialism and Dialectics’ collective.
