Haunted Journeys: Desire and Transgression in European Travel Writing
Psychoanalysis and the Task of the Translator
One of consequences of my effort to translate Jacques Lacan's Ethique de la Psychanalyse into English has been that, predictably enough, I, too, have come to reflect on problems and possibilities of translation. What is perhaps less predictable is special kind of stimulus that a work of psychoanalytic theory has provided. Questions of have been associated with dissemination of psychoanalysis almost from beginning, and they have frequently generat…
Of Poets, Politicians, Policemen, and the Power of Analysis
LTHOUGH THEY DISAGREE energetically on so much else, few contemporary commentators are likely to deny the consensus that has emerged concerning Poe's third and final Dupin story, a consensus that finds there the fascinating tale of loins, letters, and puror partial blindness announced in its title.'

Yet it is immediately clear that both authors were also genuinely cosmopolitan men of letters with a comparable range of references in the…
The Myth of the bloodbath: North Vietnam's land reform reconsidered
