TL;DR: The formal structure of Thomas More's Utopia is simple and well known as mentioned in this paper, and it consists of two books, the first of which contains, in the form of a dialogue between More and an imaginary traveller, Raphael Hythloday, a sharp criticism of English social conditions, the enclosure movement, the penal code and the existing pattern of international relations.
Abstract: The formal structure of Thomas More's Utopia is simple and well known. It consists of two books, the first of which contains, in the form of a dialogue between More and an imaginary traveller, Raphael Hythloday, a sharp criticism of English social conditions, the enclosure movement, the penal code and the existing pattern of international relations. The second, in the form of a lengthy tale related by Hythloday, is a description of the social, economic, political and religious conditions of the Isle of Nowhere, Utopia.

Abstract: This study summarizes my investigations into the development of a "Rhizaleosemiotic Calculus" which develops Lacan's work on the Borromean Knot of the Real, Symbolic and Imaginary registers, and its implication in the chaotic dynamics of sexuation. It is stimulated by three important threads in the trajectory of my own personal development.

TL;DR: Tyranny is a recurrent preoccupation in the life and thought of Thomas More as discussed by the authors and it is among the first of the subjects which he takes for his own in his earliest examination of Greek prose.
Abstract: Tyranny is a recurrent preoccupation in the life and thought of Thomas More. It is among the first of the subjects which he takes for his own in his earliest examination of Greek prose. It is the theme of a significant number of his Latin poems. It provides the matter of his Richard III and the anti-matter of Utopia: it is among the evils which his imaginary commonwealth is designed to annihilate. ‘He always’, wrote Erasmus, ‘had a special loathing of tyranny.’

TL;DR: The authors proposed a theory of fiction in the place of the psychoanalytic subject, which is not based on the workings of the unconscious or the illusion of an imaginary self, it is the result of a loss.
Abstract: Translator's Note: This article is excerpted from Nicolas Abraham's L'corce et le noyau (Paris: Aubier-Flammarion, 1978), with the permission of Maria Torok. It is being published simultaneously in Psychoanalytic Inquiry (forthcoming 1984). The Hungarian-born French philosopher's and psychoanalyst's works are being systematically introduced to the English-speaking scholarly community. Diacritics has devoted half of a special issue (Spring 1979); the University of Minnesota Press has recently commissioned the translation of Abraham's and Torok's Cryptonymie: Le Verbier de l'Homme aux loups (Paris: AubierFlammarion, 1976); and the Georgia Review has published the English translation of Jacques Derrida's prefatory essay, "Fors," to Cryptonymie (Spring 1977). The original title of the essay, "L'objet perdu-moi," has been supplemented here by "A Poetics of Psychoanalysis" to underscore its contribution to both psychoanalysis and literary theory. The essay offers a privileged entry into Abraham's works in that it puts forward a theory of fiction in the place of the psychoanalytic subject. The type of fiction outlined here is not based on the workings of the unconscious or the illusion of an imaginary self, it is the result of a loss. In setting up the fiction of being another, the subject creates himself as a dialogue or, more precisely, as a system of analogical references to a fictitious other. The status of the subject becomes poetic in that the dialogic structure can only be recognized through linguistic acts. The essay thus implies a dia-logic theory of readinga subject or a text may be read through to another text which is its own fictitious (and concealed) system of reference.
