Culture and Politics on the Couch

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the intersection of psychoanalysis and societal issues, the book investigates how analysts' insights into unconscious desires, libido, and jouissance can illuminate political and cultural dynamics. By examining elements often overlooked, it suggests that understanding these deeper psychological aspects may reveal hidden dimensions of social affairs, enriching our comprehension of complex issues. The work draws on the theories of Freud and Lacan to propose that a psychoanalytic perspective can uncover what remains opaque to conventional analysis.
