商品描述

In this book, Thomas Svolos tests the claim that a practicing psychoanalyst is afforded a unique perspective on issues of politics, social and cultural affairs, trained, as they are, to look out for that which is not readily transparent to a patient. This might be something opaque, something bizarre even, something that is part of the experience of the patient that they are not conscious of, what Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan called, at different points in their work, desire, libido, or, jouissance. It argues that by taking account, in one way or another, of desire, libido and jouissance, we might find another dimension to political, social and cultural matters, a dimension that is present, but generally opaque, to those who deal with them.

In a series of original texts and edited dialogues, brought together for the first time, this lively and accessible work offers novel insights on topics ranging from race, climate change and partisan politics, to science fiction and Bruce Springsteen. It will appeal to students, scholars and those with a general interest in psychoanalysis, politics, cultural studies and critical theory.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在這本書中，Thomas Svolos 測試了這樣的主張：一位實踐中的精神分析師對於政治、社會和文化事務擁有獨特的視角，因為他們訓練有素，能夠洞察那些對病人來說並不明顯的事物。這可能是一些不透明的東西，甚至是一些奇異的事物，這些都是病人經驗的一部分，但他們並不自覺，正如西格蒙德·弗洛伊德和雅克·拉岡在他們的不同著作中所稱的，欲望、性慾或快感。書中主張，通過以某種方式考量欲望、性慾和快感，我們可能會發現政治、社會和文化事務的另一個維度，這個維度雖然存在，但對於處理這些事務的人來說通常是模糊不清的。

在一系列原創文本和編輯對話中，這些內容首次匯集在一起，這部生動且易於理解的作品提供了對於種族、氣候變遷、黨派政治、科幻小說和布魯斯·斯普林斯汀等主題的新穎見解。它將吸引學生、學者以及對精神分析、政治、文化研究和批判理論有一般興趣的人士。
