The introduction and translator’s note frame the book’s intellectual trajectory, addressing the French working title, the problem of connotations, and the translation choices that follow from debates in Lacanian thought. It sets up the volume’s systematic chapters spanning philosophy, anthropology, history, psychology, semantics, economics, architecture, and concluding injunctions.","Toward an archiTecTure of enjoymenT  \nalso by henri Lefebvre  \nPublished by the university of minnesota Press  \nThe Urban Revolution  \nTranslated by Robert Bononno Foreword by Neil Smith  \nDialectical Materialism  \nTranslated by John Sturrock Foreword by Stefan Kipfer  \nState, Space, World: Selected Essays  \nEdited by Neil Brenner and Stuart Elden  \nTranslated by Gerald Moore, Neil Brenner, and Stuart Elden  \nalso on henri Lefebvre  \nPublished by the university of minnesota Press  \nHenri Lefebvre on Space: Architecture, Urban Research, and the Production of Theory  \nŁukasz Stanek  \nToward an archiTecTure of enjoymenT  \nHenri Lefebvre  \nEdited by Ł ukasz Stanek  \nTranslated by Robert Bo nonno  \nuniversity of minnesota Press minneapolis • London  \nThis book was supported by a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts.  \nEnglish translation copyright 2014 by Robert Bononno  \nIntroduction copyright 2014 by the Regents ofthe University of Minnesota  \nAll rights reserved.

The proverbial elephant in the room makes its appearance in the form ofjouissance, a word ripe (some might say rife) with connotations that has repeatedly proven problematic to translators of contemporary French prose. Its range of associations and ambiguity is legendary, and justifications of its translation, rather than its wholesale adoption, have now become commonplace. The usual fallback position, and one I obviously do not follow here, is to leave it untranslated. One would have to examine this tactic on a case-by-case basis to explicate the underlying rationale, but the primary reason can be traced to its use in psychoanalytic texts, particularly the work of Jacques Lacan, for whom it was a core concept.  \nThe most recent and most accurate translation of Lacan’s Écrits, by Bruce Fink,“translates” it as such; it is assumed, as Fink notes in a short glossary at the end of the book, that readers of Lacan are sufficiently familiar with the term and its meanings to preclude the need for English translation.
