Dark Continents - Psychoanalysis and Colonialism

Informationen zum Autor Ranjana Khanna Klappentext "Ranjana Khanna articulates and outlines a transnational feminist ethics. Such an ethics is badly needed and awaited with eagerness by many. "Dark Continents" is, indeed, a terrific integration of psychoanalytic thought with postcolonial and feminist politics by way of a critical intimacy with the combined ethics of ambiguity and difference."--Mieke Bal, University of Amsterdam Zusammenfassung Argues that the psychoanalytic self was constituted through the specifically national-colonial encounters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries! and that therefore somewhat paradoxically perhaps! psychoanalysis is crucial for understanding postcoloniality and decolonization.
