The event was a special session to celebrate the publication of the final instalment of the four volume series Reading Lacan’s Écrits. It involves a discussion with the series editors (Professors Stijn Vanheule, Derek Hook and Lacan in Scotland’s own Calum Neill) along with many of the contributors to all four volumes. The event offers an opportunity to reflect what we’ve learned from and about Lacan and his teachings through our collective engagement with his écrits.
