A Lacanian Reading of Shâzde Ehtejâb by Hooshang Golshiri

This article, following the theory of Lacan, studies Shâzde Ehtejâb, a novel by Hooshang Golshiri. First, through explaining some basic terms of this post structural psychologist such as The Real, The Imaginary, the Symbolic, Name-of-the Father, Gaze, a critical reading of the novel will be carried out. The article aims at responding two questions: What Lanian area is the novel narrated at? What is the reason for the incoherence of the novel’s narrative structure and disruption of Shâzde Ehtejâb as a “self”.
