Lacan: Introducing Thinkers for Planners - a Narrative and Conversation
Michael Gunder is an associate professor at the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland. He is a former Managing Editor of Planning Theory and the recent Co-Editor (with Ali Madanipour and Vanessa Watson) of The Routledge Handbook of Planning Theory. Chuan Wang is a Lecturer at the School of Architecture, Southeast University in Nanjing. He recently completed his PhD at Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture (ESALA), the University of Edinburgh, where he employed terminological studies and Lacanian theory to analyse the discourse of urban futures. He discovered Lacan’s theory when he came cross with Michael Gunder’s writings on ‘sustainability’ as a master signifier in planning. Lacanian theory opened up a new perspective to probe the role of the signifiers of popular concepts (‘master signifiers’ in Lacanian terms) in the planning discourse. The reading of Gunder’s writings were the pivotal inspiration in the development of Wang’s research method. This booklet aims to be an easy first step for the planning researchers who are interested in exploring the irrational side of planning discourse, such as desire, fantasy and lack, and revealing the (always) hidden truth behind the Symbolic. Gunder’s narrative is a backbone introduction of Lacan’s theory to planning research at both levels of theory and practice. This condensed text is based on his twenty years of research on Lacan and planning as well as his published research outcomes. From the starting point of imperfect language-in-use and always-misunderstood ideology, the narrative text elucidates the foundation of Lacanian theory in philosophy, politics and literature, and explains some key elements - master signifiers , knowledge, subjectivities, desire and jouissance and their positions in the Four Discourses to uncover the social bonds in planning discourse. The Lacanian approach provides an insight that planning policy and urban practice are shaped by not only the planning experts’ belief but also the public’s identity and the various actors in the complex process from policy debate to project implementations. ; AESOP Young Academics Booklet Project Conversations in Planning Booklet 7
