Omschrijving
'In the context of contemporary debates around new materialisms and modes of existence that double as modes of resistance, Simon Morgan Wortham's return to the disputes between Derrida and Lacan could not be more timely. The book is essential reading for anyone committed to the future of theory: from the strategic purchase of its analytic antinomies, aporias, frontings, unlockings, counterings, complaints, lapses, drifts and fleecings, to the understanding of what Wortham dubs, with decided flair, the "complex" complex.'Emily Apter, Professor of French and Comparative Literature, New York UniversityRethinking the terms in which psychoanalysis, political thought and philosophy can be brought togetherAs calls mount for resistance to recent political events, Simon Morgan Wortham explores the political implications and complexities of a psychoanalytic conception of resistance. Through close readings of a range of authors, both within and outside of the psychoanalytic tradition, the question of the politics of psychoanalysis itself is read back into the task of thinking resistance from a psychoanalytic point of view.Morgan Wortham also reveals a new theory of phobic resistance at the centre of the politics of psychoanalysis, one that also creates fresh possibilities for contemporary political analysis.Simon Morgan Wortham is Professor of English and Pro Vice Chancellor Dean of Arts and Social Sciences at Kingston University.Cover design:[EUP logo]edinburghuniversitypress.comISBN 978-1-4744-2960-3 [PPC]ISBN 978-1-4744-2961-0 [cover]Barcode
