| Abstract | "This text is a Baudrillardian reading of Lacanian psychoanalysis. It is the first to develop a Baudrillardian critique of the problematic way Lacanian psychoanalysis continues its vain attempt to (re)animate a subject of the unconscious as a clinical practice and by extension as a source of socio-cultural and philosophical theory. Lacan's clinical seminar was influential in the intellectual milieu of Paris while Baudrillard was writing. Although frequently referring to psychoanalysis, Baudrillard never wrote a detailed critique of psychoanalysis; the scaffolding of such a work, however, transpires through the extent of his writing. The text outlines the problems with Deleuze and Guattari's critique of psychoanalysis and exactly how the alternative they propose remains within the oppressive terms of our current world. A critique of the clinical practice and theoretical elaboration of Lacanian psychoanalysis, this book is an essential resource for social, critical, cultural, literary, feminist and psychoanalytic theory. While of interest to students, researchers and scholars of Jean Baudrillard's work and Lacanian psychoanalysis, this book particularly addresses those for whom not all is well with psychoanalysis, opening towards renewed directions through questioning"-- Provided by publisher. |
