Between the Psyche and the Social - Psychoanalytic Social Theory

Informationen zum Autor Robyn Ferrell is adjunct professor at the Centre for Law, Art and Humanities at the Australian National University and in gender & cultural studies at the University of Sydney. Klappentext Between the Psyche and the Social is the first collection of its kind to offer original, interdisciplinary essays on questions of social subjectivity. Contributors engage the disciplines of feminism, psychoanalytic theory, queer theory, postcolonial theory, film theory, literary criticism, and philosophy to transform the psychoanalytic study of social oppression. The book considers such questions as, How can psychoanalysis and critical social theory engage and transform one another? How can the social dimensions of subjectivity be understood within the framework of a classic psychoanalytic theory that rejects the social domain that gives rise to subjectivity in the first place? Between the Psyche and the Social reclaims the contributions of psychoanalysis, feminism, queer theory, postcolonial, and political theories in order to change the parameters of the current debates on the social dimensions of subjectivity. Zusammenfassung This volume focuses specifically on the field of psychoanalytic social theory emerging in and between psychoanalysis! feminism! post-colonial studies and queer theory! and across the disciplines of philosophy! literary! film and cultural studies.
