This process strives to unveil the disguises of tropic language in order to generate manifest meaning from latent content. Focusing on five twentieth-century writers: D.H. Lawrence, Ernest Hemingway, Albert Camus, Roland Barthes, and Alain Robbe-Grillet, this book shows how Freud's theories of condensation and displacement in dreams match Lacan's uses of metaphor and metonymy in language. Despite the different backgrounds of these authors from America, England, and France, the unifying theme is that the unconscious (because it is structured like language) is the voice of the (m)Other disguised in figurative language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43060468842571,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1317.39,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9780791429327-1.jpg?v=1787473776","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9780791429327","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
