Rethinking Development Politics
In this innovative book, Ilan Kapoor and Gavin Fridell rethink development politics psychoanalytically, investigating its unconscious. Whereas mainstream development politics is organized around stability and rationality, psychoanalysis points to disharmony and irrationality, helping to explain the development subject’s often self-defeating behaviour.
The Marx Through Lacan Vocabulary
This text explores a set of key concepts in Marxist theory as developed and read by Lacan, demonstrating links and connections between Marxist thought and Lacanian practice. The book examines the complexity of these encounters through the structure of a comprehensive vocabulary which covers diverse areas, from capitalism and communism to history, ideology, politics, work, and family. Offering new perspectives on these concepts in psychoanalysis, as well as in the fields of political and critical theory, the book brings together contributions from a range of international experts to demonstrate the dynamic relationship between Marx and Lacan, as well as illuminating "untranslatable points" wh...
Toward a Feminist Lacanian Left
While traditional feminist readings on antagonism have pivoted around the sole axis of sex and/or gender, a broader and intersectional approach to antagonism is much needed; this book offers an innovative, feminist, and discursive reading on the Lacanian concept of sexual position as a way to problematize the concepts of political antagonism and political subjects. Can Lacanian psychoanalysis offer new grounds for feminist politics? This discursive mediation of Lacan's work presents a new theoretical framework upon which to articulate proposals for intersectional political theory. The first part of this book develops the theoretical framework, and the second part applies it to the constructi...
Psychoanalysis, Politics, Oppression and Resistance
This innovative text addresses the lack of literature regarding intersectional approaches to psychoanalysis, underscoring the importance of thinking through race, class, and gender within psychoanalytic theory and practice. The book tackles the widespread perception of psychoanalysis today as a discipline detached from the progressive ideals of social responsibility, institutional psychotherapy, and community mental health. Bringing together a range of international contributions, the collection explores issues of class, politics, oppression, and resistance within the field of psychoanalysis in cultural, theoretical, and clinical contexts. It shows how, in contrast to this misperception, psychoanalysis has been attentive to these ideals from its origins, as well as demonstrating how it continues to be relevant today, through wide-ranging conceptual discussions of the anti-globalization, Black Lives Matter, and #MeToo movements. Written in an accessible style, Psychoanalysis, Politics, Oppression and Resistance will be essential reading for practicing psychoanalysts as well as academics and students in a range of humanities and social sciences fields.
Political Jouissance
"When we oppose or disagree with something important, do we ever really do it dispassionately? Isn't setting the world to rights or condemning a political opponent always done with a hint of relish, or at least enthusiasm? This book's challenging essays explore the modes in which that transgressive pleasure of political 'jouissance' operates. In this collection, the authors seek out jouissance in the battle against patriarchy, in social revolts, in the age of mechanical surveillance, in the necrosociety of neoliberalism, or the proliferation of conspiracy theories. Drawing on Lacan's insistence that jouissance is intrinsically political by its nature, we can understand how readily psychoanalytic ideas can be put to use across the geopolitical spectrum"--

Mujer antes que Eva
El estudio sobre la subjetividad y la experiencia del ser humano a partir de los mitos resulta relevante para el psicoanálisis debido a que persiste la importancia de entender cómo se constituyen la psique, los síntomas y el género. Esto da pie a poder desarrollar nuevas, mejores y más precisas prácticas psicoterapéuticas y/o analíticas, e incluso desarrollar instituciones o hacer políticas públicas que respondan mejor a las necesidades humanas. Elaborar narrativas que pongan en circulación los significantes constitutivos de la experiencia del ser, vuelve más plural y asequible la posibilidad de habitar el propio cuerpo. La presente revisión de literatura, por ende, responde a l...
Mohnblumenkriege
In ihrer Geschichte der globalen US-amerikanischen Drogenpolitik erklärt Helena Barop, warum der »War on Drugs« gescheitert ist. Der Krieg gegen die Drogen ist gescheitert: Bei dem Versuch, den Anbau und Schmuggel von Drogen zu verhindern, verstrickten sich die USA zwischen 1950 und 1979 in ein teures, globales Projekt mit zahlreichen Nebenwirkungen und verheerenden Folgen. Sie ließen in der Türkei den Opiumanbau verbieten und hatten dann Probleme, Opium für die Herstellung von Medikamenten zu beschaffen. Sie stoppten thailändische Opiumkarawanen und trieben damit die lokalen Opiumpreise in die Höhe, was wieder neue Anreize schaffte, mehr Opium anzubauen. Sie schickten Vietnamveteran...
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
