Revision as of 13:09, 3 April 2014 by Sorindanut (talk | contribs)
Jacques Marie Émile Lacan (1901 – 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. His books and ideas had a significant impact on critical theory, literary theory, philosophy, sociology, feminist theory, film theory and clinical psychoanalysis.
Although Ernest Lacan never practiced photography, he was a central voice in the international photographic community during the second half of the 19th century. As editor and writer for the two leading French photography journals, La Lumière [The Light] and Le Moniteur de la Photographie [The Monitor of Photography], from 1851 to 1879 Lacan helped shape the terms of the debate around photographic practice and theory as he strove to articulate photography’s cultural significance [1].
