Theoretical Work
The Ljubljana School of Psychoanalysis focuses on the following areas:
- readings of modern and classical philosophy (especially German idealism) through the theory of Jacques Lacan;
- elaboration of Lacanian theories of ideology and power (both of the Communist regime in the 1980s and the liberal democracy after 1990);
- Lacanian analysis of culture and art, with a special emphasis on cinema.

Famous quotes containing the words theoretical and/or work:
“Post-structuralism is among other things a kind of theoretical hangover from the failed uprising of ‘68Ma way of keeping the revolution warm at the level of language, blending the euphoric libertarianism of that moment with the stoical melancholia of its aftermath.”
—Terry Eagleton (b. 1943)
“I knew that my vocation was found. I had received the call, and having done so, I was sure my work would be assigned me. Of some things we feel quite certain. Inside there is a click, a kind of bell that strikes, when the hands of our destiny meet at the meridian hour.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
