Review : In his recent Modern Masters
volume, Lacan Malcolm Bowie
expresses his delight in Lacan's promotion of the future perfect as the tense
that best captures in language the temporality of the human subject The future
perfect. Emerges as the tense par excellence of desire and the
prospective human imagination. It allows us to envisage as already
complete what has not yet been fully launched, and places us already beyond the
goal that we have yet to reach.
Desire-in-pursuit and the subject in process
have been relocated at precise points of articulation within the signifying
chain. This passage conveniently gathers together several of the topics that
Professor Bowie has explored in his four earlier books: In Henri Michaux: A
Study of his Literary Works (1973), Bowie writes about a poet who
not only envisions the human personality without a fixed or stable identity,
but who also achieves a new kind of stability in the face of human multiplicity
and difficulty. Although Mallarme and the Art of being Difficult (1978)
begins with the argument that poetry may be at once pleasurable and difficult,
it concludes with a warning against bringing 'chaste' critical assumptions to
works of art.
