Psychoanalysis Under Nazi Occupation
Laura Sokolowsky’s survey of psychoanalysis under Weimar and Nazism explores how the paradigm of a ‘psychoanalysis for all’ became untenable as the Nazis rose to power. Mainly discussing the evolution of the Berlin Institute during the period between Freud’s creation of free psychoanalytic centres after the founding of the Weimar Republic and the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, the book explores the ideal of making psychoanalysis available to the population of a shattered country after World War I, and charts how the Institute later came under Nazi control following the segregation and dismissal of Jewish colleagues in the late 1930s. The book shows how Freudian standards resisted the...
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...
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...

Freud and War
During the rise of fascism and anti-Semitism in Germany, Albert Einstein wrote to Sigmund Freud asking the fundamental question: What can be done to liberate humanity from the menace of war? The psychoanalyst replied at length and their exchange of letters (reproduced here) was published in March 1933 under the title Why War?. The book would be included in the book burnings in Berlin on 10th of May that year. Why War? is important in Freud's work because in it he develops a fundamental idea that leads him to conclude that the life and death drives are linked - a thought that he had already entertained in works such as Death and Us (1915), which is also included here. In a terrible irony, Freud dedicated a copy of Why War? to Mussolini, who nonetheless instituted a police investigation of its author. The contributors to this volume explore the reasons underlying the dedication, as well as giving their own reflections on the genesis of war.
Conversaciones clínico-políticas
La serie de correos hará que el lector no pueda permanecer impasible al relato y a su resolución final y se enterará de que en Teherán la gente busca analista desesperadamente. En este libro Jacques-Alain Miller muestra que el psicoanálisis está vinculado a la libertad de palabra y, a través de ella, a los derechos humanos. Hemos visto últimamente tres historias de tres mujeres: primero, la liberación de Rafah Nached (Siria) y, más recientemente, Mitra Kadivar (Irán) y Raja Ben Slama (Túnez). Esa serie de tres mujeres, y el hecho de que se trate de psicoanalistas, pone de manifiesto lo que Lacan había anticipado: la vinculación del psicoanálisis, no con la libertad, sino con las libertades. No se trata del concepto abstracto, metafísico de libertad, sino de lo que está en juego en la práctica, es decir, si se puede practicar el psicoanálisis, o no, con sus consecuencias. Es ahí donde podemos decir si creemos o no en la democracia.
The Archives of Critical Theory
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, in 1923, this book aims at shedding light on the archives of some of the key thinkers of Critical Theory of Society, also well known as “Frankfurt School”. To pay homage to this current of thought, this contributed volume aims to make the archives speak for themselves, to show the public the quantity of unpublished material still existing by the authors of the Critical Theory which are now in funds in different parts of the world (in Germany, in Italy, or in the United States), and to show that Critical Theory remains alive 100 years after its inception. The volume starts...
Making Mental Health
Making Mental Health: A Critical History historicises mental health by examining the concept from the ‘madness’ of the late nineteenth century to the changing ideas about its contemporary concerns and status. It argues that a critical approach to the history of psychiatry and mental health shows them to constitute a dual clinical-political project that gathered pace over the course of the twentieth century and continues to resonate in the present. Drawing on scholarship across several areas of historical inquiry as well as historical and contemporary clinical literature, the book uses a thematic approach to highlight decisive moments that demonstrate the stakes of this engagement in Angl...
No todo es política en la orientación lacaniana
¿En qué grado necesitamos la política? El autor de este libro lo tiene claro: nunca demasiada. Quizá estamos acostumbrados a achacar a la política la elaboración de discursos interesados, llenos de promesas incumplidas. Debemos, en cambio, reconocerle la facultad de dar sentido preciso a las palabras. La política es un arte complejo que da forma al discurso y lo impregna todo: vivimos políticamente, amamos políticamente, nos vinculamos con los demás políticamente, calculamos nuestra forma de gozar políticamente. Por lo tanto, también tiene una relación directa con el poder. La política es el sostén del discurso del amo; por ello debe recurrir a su reverso, aunque sin saberlo....
