Loving Lacan: The Story of an Intellectual Guru Whose Gnomic Utterances Took the Term Intellectual Terrorist to New Levels
2024
Overview
Lacan joins the line of charismatic doctors who, throughout history, have beguiled their followers as a near-magical figure, going on to create catastrophe at every level, not least for their patients, in order to maintain their dominance. De Clerambault ran a forensic hospital but was not particularly attached to the patients, regarding them more as source material for his research. On 16 November 1934, after two unsuccessful operations for cataracts, he committed suicide by seating himself in front of his camera and shooting himself as the shutter went off, a morbid prelude to the current selfie fashion. Any suggestion that his wild ideas would benefit from more contact with actual psychotics were waved aside with vague reference to his cases.
