In this book, the author wonders "What remains of the father in the era of his disappearance". This is the main issue that governs the course of the work of the psychoanalyst Massimo Recalcati. In the era of the collapse of the ideal of the father, what does paternal function consist of? What makes the transmission of desire possible in the era of the decline of Oedipus? Through Freud and Lacan as well as representatives of literature (Philip Roth and Cormac McCarthy) and cinema (Clint Eastwood), the characteristics of the father of action are outlined, not necessarily of blood origin.
This is what we can expect from what remains of the father in the era of his disappearance: an act, a singular testimony to his desire, an embodied solution to the unsolvable enigma of life and death.
