This chapter summarises the novelty and specificity of Italian Lacanian thought. It contends that Lacan’s legacy in postmillennial Italy is marked by an affirmative conception of the real. Italian Lacanians conceive of sublimation and subjectivation—beyond the aesthetic and clinical realms—as the capacity to engage with, channel, and make the real of jouissance fecund in a dialectical relationship with desire. The chapter also opens up pathways for further research and situates the book within broader scholarly and cultural contexts.
