Beckett Lacan and the Mathematical Writing of the Real

<i>Beckett Lacan and the Mathematical Writing of the Real</i>proposes writing as a mathematical and logical operation to build a bridge between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Samuel Beckett's prose works. <br/><br/>Arka Chattopadhyay studies aspects such as the fundamental operational logic of a text use of mathematical forms like geometry and arithmetic the human obsession with counting the moving body as an act of writing and love and sexuality as a challenge to the limits of what can be written through logic and mathematics. Chattopadhyay reads Beckett's prose works including <i>How It Is</i> <i>Company</i> <i>Worstward</i><i>Ho</i> <i>Malone</i><i>Dies</i> and <i>Enough</i> to highlight this terminal writing which halts endless meanings with the material body of the word and gives Beckett a medium to inscribe what cannot be written otherwise.
