English & Literature 2. Loss and desire in James Joyces Araby: A Lacanian perspective Asked by Ina Dani on 18 Feb 08:51 Last updated by anonymous on 20 Feb 16:37
From a Lacanian perspective it would seem that the loss that is addressed in Araby is not the loss or gain of a specific object, but rather the impossble structure of desire for both masculine and feminine subjects.
