Literature as Symptom Colette Soler 213 Index 221 Acknowledgments The essays in this volume were presented as keynote addresses at a conference on "Lacan, Language and Literature” held at Kent State University, Kent, Ohio on Memorial Day weekend in May of 1988. The two addresses not included in this volume were "The History of the Anecdote: Fiction and Fiction" delivered by the late Joel Fineman and "R.S.I. in Freud's Project" delivered by Richard Klein of Oxford, England. Although Joel Fineman did not contribute his essay to this volume, the editors wish to pay homage to the excellence of his schol­ arship and the complexities of his work, standing as it does at the interfaces among literature, rhetoric, and psychoanalysis. Richard Klein, M.D., has chosen to give his essays to those publications not supported by institutions, a political decision we respect. We also thank the co-sponsors of the conference, the Center for Literature and Psychoanalysis at Kent State University and the Newsletter of the Freudian Field. We also thank David Metzger and Heidimarie Hayes for their assistance in the final stages of editing this volume. But most particularly we thank those speakers who came here from Paris to give us the benefit of the groundbreaking work you will read in this volume, work that is now changing the face of theory and practice in the analytic clinic. These theories regarding what knowledge is, what language is and does, and why gender makes a difference, are only a few of the effects of Lacan's teaching. Ellie Ragland Sullivan Mark Bracher
