Negotiating the Social Bonds of Poetics
guest-edited by Nancy Gillespie and Peter Jaeger

Is Lacan’s theory of the “four discourses” useful for rethinking how we engage with and disseminate poetry and poetics? Can poetics operate like the discourse of the Analyst to create a different social bond through language? Is Lacan’s concept of the structure of the four discourses useful for us today, particularly as we head into financial cuts in the arts and academia which may limit interventions in hegemonic discourses?

Projected release April 2012.
