Is there such a thing as Post-Lacanian or Post-Freudian theory? I like Lacan's notion of jouissance, some what he gleans of the "Other", and his interpretation of anxiety, but think that he failed not to surpass the Freudian fixation upon phallic symbolism and obsession with castration. Sexuality is a facet of the human experience and not it's sole manifestation. I also honestly suspect that the fear of castration stems from the utilization of the guillotine. It is not necessarily a natural fear.

There seems to be a real need to go beyond Freud and not to just return to him. Deleuze and Guattari lambasted Freud, and, perhaps they were right to just be done with him altogether, but I wonder if there isn't anything out there that could be likened to what Post-Structuralism is to Structuralism. I don't know that I would even agree with Post-Lacanians or Post-Freudians, but it does seem like it would make for some interesting theory.
