Is Oedipus Online?: Siting Freud after Freud (Short Circuits) - Softcover

"Flieger gives a compelling analysis of identity, sexuation, and subjectivity in our post-millennial, techno-cultural world. Her probing critique of these issues is a clear demonstration of the continued relevance of psychoanalysis -- via Freud, Lacan, Miller, and Zizek -- to contemporary issues of culture and science."--Russell Grigg, Deakin Unviersity, Australia, and editor of *Female Sexuality: The Early Psychoanalytic Controversies* " Is Oedipus Online? refreshes the screen of psychoanalysis. Its wit consists not just in its humorous updating of Freudian vocabulary, but more significantly in its compelling argument that Freud"s theorization of the inhuman core of humanity is as valid and useful in understanding today"s dilemmas as it ever was. The dialogue it coaxes between Deleuze and Lacan is one of the book"s many incentive bonuses." Joan Copjec, author of Imagine There"s No Woman

Psychoanalysis as a navigation device for the cultural maze of the twenty-first century.
