Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this passionately written and controversial book, first published in 1978, Catherine Clement, Communist, feminist and analysand, asks what the social function of psychoanalysis should be and condemns what it has become. She attacks psychoanalysis as an institution disdainful of treatment and cure, serving the interests of a new intelligentsia, the 'nouveaux riches' of a narcissistic literary culture and publishing industry. Contrasting the insights of psychoanalytic theory to the obsessive imitations of Jacques Lacan by those who followed him as a practitioner-trainer, she offers an anthropological perspective and a political critique of Parisian psychoanalysis as a profession. How has the attentive ear of the analyst become deaf to questions about the social and political meaning of his or her work Does a woman who is both a socialist and analysand necessarily hear such questions more clearly and answer them differently Clement reflects on her own history, the history of psychoanalysis and the history of the French left to demonstrate what an activist and feminist restoration of psychoanalysis could be.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - When 'Black Macho' was originally published in 1978, it was welcomed with a storm of controversy, having blasted the traditional myths of black womanhood and the patriarchal culture of Black Power for marginalizing women. Nearly four decades later, it continues to find echoes in feminist debates on both social media and the academy. Now updated with a new introduction examining the debates it sparked, and what has - and has not - changed, 'Black Macho' continues to be deeply relevant to feminist debates today.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Read My Desire, Joan Copjec stages a confrontation between the theories of Jacques Lacan and Michel Foucault, protagonists of two powerful modern discourses--psychoanalysis and historicism. Ordinarily, these discourses cross paths only long enough for historiacists to charge psychoanalysis with an indifference to history, but here psychoanalysis, via Lacan, goes on the offensive. Refusing to cede historicity to the historicists, Copjec makes a case for the superiority of Lacan's explanation of historical process, its generative principles, and its complex functionings. Her goal is to inspire a new kind of cultural critique, one that would be 'literate in desire, ' that would be able to read what is inarticulable in cultural statements.
