Surviving Anne
'Was I born with something broken, or did it break later?'This novel is an intimate exploration of the severe psychological difficulties suffered by a woman whose parents survived a Nazi concentration camp. In it, Anne meets Dr Palmer, with whom she begins a psychotherapeutic journey that will lead her to a surprising resolution.Much more than the misfortunes of a singular drama, this is an immersion into the innermost folds of the human condition, where loneliness, helplessness, and the struggle between madness and the desire to live meet.Throughout her treatment, Anne becomes a mirror in which each reader will recognise at least one of his or her own traits. This is a story which brings together the pain of existence and the courage of someone who, with the help of her therapist, manages to get her life back on track.
Wind and Whirlwind: Utopian and Dystopian Themes in Literature and Philosophy
In Wind and Whirlwind the great philosopher Ágnes Heller and social scientist Riccardo Mazzeo explain the pros and cons of utopias and dystopias as they are described in literary works and their relevance to understand the world we live in and the hidden consequences of apparently appealing life trajectories.
The Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan
The Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan considers the three key phases of Lacan’s interest in literary topics. Santanu Biswas first examines the seminars given between 1955 and 1961, in which Lacan spoke on Edgar Allan Poe’s short story "The Purloined Letter", Hamlet, Sophocles’ Antigone, and Paul Claudel’s The Coûfontaine Trilogy, and where literature is related to meaning. This is followed by an exploration of Lacan’s seminar on "Lituraterre" in 1971, wherein Lacan elaborates on the different ways in which literature appeared to turn towards lituraterre. Finally, Biswas considers Lacan’s 1975–1976 seminar on James Joyce, who created literature out of “litter” and was concerned with jouissance rather than with meaning. The Major Literary Seminars of Jacques Lacan will be of great interest to Lacanian psychoanalysts, other mental health practitioners interested in the teachings of Lacan, and academics and students of Lacanian studies, literature, and psychoanalysis.
Mulheres de Hoje
Como a psicanálise de orientação lacaniana pode pensar as mulheres, e como podemos pensá-las hoje, ou seja, trinta anos depois da morte de Lacan, com as mudanças que o início do século XXI nos trouxe? Tratar o gozo feminino supõe encontrar outras palavras que remetam ao ponto de inconsistência no Outro, ponto em que não há solução pela identificação. Outras palavras que – esta é a nossa aposta – possam ser inventadas para tratar os impasses do real. (Cristina Drummond)
Electric Seeing
What is the subject of video? Charlotte Klink traces the development of electromagnetism in the pursuit of »Electric Seeing« that emerged in the 19th century as well as its curious relation to psychoanalysis and the contemporary discovery of the structure of the human psyche. In doing so, she exposes how this development laid the foundation of what we know today as »video«. This comprehensive theory of video entails a discussion of the technological, historical, and etymological roots, the media-theoretical concepts of medium and index, the philosophical and art-theoretical environment in which video emerged in the 1960s, the psychoanalytic concept of the phantasm, and artworks by artists such as Yael Bartana, Hito Steyerl, and Bjørn Melhus.

In Praise of Literature
In this new book Zygmunt Bauman and Riccardo Mazzeo examine the contentious issue of the relation between literature (and the arts in general) and sociology (or, more generally, a branch of the humanities claiming scientific status). While many commentators see literature and sociology as radically different vocations, Bauman and Mazzeo argue that they are bound together by a common purpose and a shared subject matter. Despite the many differences in terms of their methods and their ways of presenting their findings, novels and sociological texts are not at cross-purposes. Indeed, it is precisely their differences that make them at once indispensable to each other and mutually complementary....
The Transnational Unconscious
This collection of essays approaches the history of psychoanalysis from a transnational perspective, emphasizing the flows of people, ideas and institution across cultures and nations, and examining the factors that contributed to turn psychoanalysis into one of the systems of beliefs that defined the Twentieth century.
