Secular Messiahs and the Return of Paul's 'Real' - A Lacanian Approach

This project engages with scholarship on Paul by philosophers, psychoanalysts, and historians to reveal the assumptions and prejudices that determine the messiah in secularism and its association with the exception.

Concetta V. Principe takes a Lacanian psychoanalytic approach to comparative explorations of twentieth-century texts. Her articles exploring trauma in cultural and political texts have appeared in Journal of Cultural Research and Interdisciplinary Literary Studies: A Journal of Criticism and Theory. She currently teaches at York University, Canada.
