Truth has always been a central philosophical category, occupying different fields of knowledge and practice. In the current moment of fake news and alternative facts, it is mandatory to revisit the various meanings of truth. Departing from various approaches to psychoanalytic theory and practice, the authors gathered in this book offer critical reflections and insights about truth and its effects. In articulations of psychoanalysis with (for instance) philosophy, ethics and politics, the reader will find discussions about issues such as knowledge, love, and clinical practice, all marked by the matter of truth.Contributors: Carin Franzen (Stockholm University), Derek Humphreys (Universite Sorbonne Paris Nord), Christian Dunker (University of Sao Paulo), Peter Jansson (Dalarna University), Laurie Laufer (Universite Paris Diderot), Patricia Gherovici (Das Unbehagen), Nicolas Evzonas (Universite Paris Diderot), Mladen Dolar (University of Ljubljana), Augusto Ismerim (University of Sao Paulo), Jasper Feyaerts (Ghent University), Nelson da Silva Junior(University of Sao Paulo), Paulo Beer (University of Sao Paulo), Vladimir Safatle (University of Sao Paulo), Samo Tomsic (Humboldt University)
