Henry Bond is een schrijver en fotograaf wiens werk diep ingaat op de Lacaniaanse theorie. Zijn schrijven verkent de kruispunten van theorie en artistieke praktijk, waarbij hij vaak zijn inzichten uit de psychoanalyse gebruikt om beeldende kunst en de impact ervan te ontleden. Bond's perspectief biedt lezers een unieke lens om complexe ideeën te benaderen, op een toegankelijke en boeiende manier gepresenteerd.
The appeal of Henry Bond's photography lies in its deceptive simplicity. His photographs are portraits of modern urban life in all its incidental glory. Parks, private parties, pop stars and local convenience stores all feature alongside fleeting shots of Titanic, Top Shop and Momo's in this book.
''What if Jacques Lacan--the brilliant and eccentric Parisian psychoanalyst--had worked as a police detective, applying his theories to solve crimes? This may conjure up a mental film clip starring Peter Sellers in a trench coat, but in Lacan at the Scene, Henry Bond makes a serious and provocative claim: that apparently impenetrable events of violent death can be more effectively unraveled with Lacan's theory of psychoanalysis than with elaborate, technologically advanced forensic tools. Bond's exposition on murder expands and develops a resolutely Žižekian approach. Seeking out radical and unexpected readings, Bond unpacks his material utilizing Lacan's neurosis-psychosis-perversion grid.Bond places Lacan at the crime scene and builds his argument through a series of archival crime scene photographs from the 1950s--the period when Lacan was developing his influential theories. It is not the horror of the ravished and mutilated corpses that draws his attention; instead, he interrogates seemingly minor details from the everyday, isolating and rephotographing what at first seems insignificant: a single high heeled shoe on a kitchen table, for example, or carefully folded clothes placed over a chair. From these mundane details he carefully builds a robust and comprehensive manual for Lacanian crime investigation that can stand beside the FBI's standard-issue Crime Classification Manual.''-- Fourni par l'éditeur
