Discursive Identities as Sites of Interaction

Poe’s fiction was made the target of relentless excursions by psychoanalysts. The present analysis which endeavours to articulate the operational Lacanian concepts onto Poe’s fiction aims to achieve a “liberating” of the meaning from the text an enterprise equal to a transvaluation of the textual psychical values hence constituting itself in a necessary linkage between the world of the unconscious entrapped within the text and a coherent comprehension of it.
