Mellard concludes by examining why Zizek has perhaps transcended Lacan. More than any other, it is Zizek who has constructed early and late Lacan, making possible that middle Lacan of praxis, but in the process he has also claimed an independent authority. Ultimately, Mellard explains how Zizek offers a post-Lacanian critique--one built on a pervasive philosophy of paradox--that opens new avenues of analysis of contested cultural and literary issues such as subjectivity, political economy, multiculturalism, and religious belief.
"Mellard is courageous in applying French and Freudian concepts to a literature that openly disavows the psychoanalytical, making his approach the kind of eye-opening exercise that makes teaching criticism so important and worthwhile. As Mellard integrates advances in criticism with specific readings of the texts he treats, we must recognize that this is no small task, and others have found it more than daunting and done it less thoroughly." -- Juliet Flower MacCannell, author of Figuring Lacan: Criticism and the Cultural Unconscious
