Is there English translation of Joyce avec Lacan (1979)? (ChatGPT, 2025-4-4) 


As of now, there is no complete English translation of Jacques Lacan’s 1979 text Joyce avec Lacan. However, English-speaking readers interested in Lacan’s engagement with James Joyce can refer to several resources:

1. Preface Translation: An English translation of the preface to Joyce avec Lacan by Jacques-Alain Miller is available, providing insights into the context and significance of Lacan’s work on Joyce. 

2. Seminar XXIII – The Sinthome: Lacan’s Seminar XXIII, titled The Sinthome, delves deeply into Joyce’s writing and its psychoanalytic implications. English translations of this seminar offer substantial material on Lacan’s analysis of Joyce.

3. Secondary Literature:

• Lacan Reading Joyce by Colette Soler discusses Lacan’s contribution to understanding Joyce’s life and work, introducing Soler’s influential reading to English readers. 

• Joyce and Lacan: Reading, Writing, and Psychoanalysis explores the interrelations between Joyce’s literature and Lacanian psychoanalysis. 


While a full English translation of Joyce avec Lacan remains unavailable, these resources provide valuable insights into Lacan’s interpretation of Joyce.
