Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
New Remarks on the Passage to the Act considers what happens when psychoanalysis and the social sciences are called on to help modern societies overwhelmed by unexplained violence.
Jean Allouch examines key events ? the crimes of the Papin sisters, Lacan?s case of Aimée and the murder of Hél?ne Rytmann by Louis Althusser ? and unpacks the concept of the "passage to the act". The book assesses these classic cases, resorting to contemporaneous studies and literature, particularly discussing Marguerite Duras? novel L?Amante Anglaise. The book also considers modern acts of terrorism.
New Remarks on the Passage to the Act will be of great interest to clinicians, academics and scholars of psychoanalysis, Lacanian studies, sociology, cultural studies and philosophy, and to Lacanian analysts in practice and in training.
