Preferred term

Definition

  • Lacanian thought refers to the work of French psychoanalyst and poststructuralist Jacques Lacan (19011981). In curriculum studies, his ideas are used to explore desire in the classroom, challenge the belief that identity is a fixed concept, and examine the subject's relationship with language.
