Rethinks how psychoanalysis, political thought and philosophy can be brought together.
As 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 outwith 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 creates fresh possibilities for contemporary political analysis.
Key Features:
. Reassesses the reception of psychoanalysis within the continental tradition to reconfigure contemporary theoretical debates
. Provides the broader context of the history of psychoanalysis
. Offers new ways of thinking about the relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy and politics
. Addresses a range of thinkers including Kant, Hegel, Freud, Lacan, Marx, Arendt, Fanon, Derrida, Lyotard, Balibar, Malabou and Zizek
