AB Since the first publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1871), numerous scholars have used the psychoanalitical method to interpret Carroll’s tales in numberless ways, and yet, the work continues to trigger an enormous interpretative appeal. Most of that research has been performed applying Freudian psychoanalysis to the text, to prove, for example, Carroll’s impulses towards little girls. Taking Lacan’s lecture “Homage to Lewis Carroll” (1966) as a starting point, I try to reverse that practice and explore how those two literary works may contribute to a theorization on the subjective structure. To that purpose, I analyze the presence of four elements of the Lacanian theory in those two works, namely, the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real, and the sublimating nature of the work of art. The results seem to confirm Lacan’s stand that “Theory must always in the end hand over to practice.”
