It would be fair to say that there are few twentieth century thinkers who have had such a far-reaching influence on subsequent intellectual life in the humanities as Jacques Lacan. Lacan’s “return to the meaning of Freud” profoundly changed the institutional face of the psychoanalytic movement internationally. His seminars in the 1950s were one of the formative environments of the currency of philosophical ideas that dominated French letters in the 1960s and’70s, and which has come to be known in the Anglophone world as “post-structuralism.”
Both inside and outside of France, Jacques Lacan’s work has also been profoundly important in the fields of aesthetics, literary criticism and film theory. Through the work of Louis Pierre Althusser (and more lately Ernesto Laclau, Jannis Stavrokakis and Slavoj Zizek), Lacanian theory has also left its mark on political theory, and particularly the analysis of ideology and institutional reproduction.

What's with him these days? He's bought three bikes in the past month and damn he's gotten fast.
What do you expect? The biggest concern he faces each day ranges from 'did mom wash my underwear' to 'will dad leave enough gas in the Camry'.
I know, we can't be the only ones sick of his Tom Leachery...anyone call his parents?

Get the Tom Leachery mug.Made popular in the 70's and 80's, "cheekage leakage" refers to female ass cheeks protuding from the bottom of small, tight shorts. Originally this was purposeful (as was long feathered hair, camel toes, and braless terry cloth tube tops). Sometimes abbreviated to the more British "cheekage".
Cindy didn't even notice the throng of prepubescent boys skating avidly behind her at the roller rink.
"Dude," Chad gasped, "if those cut-offs creep up any further her cheekage is going to make me shoot!"
Paul was hypnotized by the cheekage leakage Mrs. Tyler had on display across the street. Bending over to prune her roses, her tan lines would appear and disappear provocatively.
