Baudrillard and Lacanian Psychoanalysis

Mehr zum Buch

The book critiques Lacanian psychoanalysis through a Baudrillardian lens, challenging its efforts to revive the concept of the unconscious. It questions Lacan's ideas of the 'real,' the unconscious as a linguistic structure, and the notion of surplus, while exploring the connections between psychoanalysis and Marxism. The author argues that Lacanian psychoanalysis operates as a recursive simulation model, revealing ethical concerns inherent in its practice and theory.
