In this book, Thomas Svolos tests the claim that a practicing psychoanalyst is afforded a unique perspective on issues of politics, social and cultural affairs, trained, as they are, to look out for that which is not readily transparent to a patient. This might be something opaque, something bizarre even, something that is part of the experience of the patient that they are not conscious of, what Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan called, at different points in their work, desire, libido, or, jouissance. It argues that by taking account, in one way or another, of desire, libido and jouissance, we might find another dimension to political, social and cultural matters, a dimension that is present, but generally opaque, to those who deal with them. In a series of original texts and edited dialogues, brought together for the first time, this lively and accessible work offers novel insights on topics ranging from race, climate change and partisan politics, to science fiction and Bruce Springsteen. It will appeal to students, scholars and those with a general interest in psychoanalysis, politics, cultural studies and critical theory. Thomas Svolos, MD, practices psychoanalysis in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. He is a Member of Lacanian Compass, the New Lacanian School, and the World Association of Psychoanalysis. He is also Professor of Psychiatry and Associate Dean for Strategy and Accreditation at Creighton University School of Medicine. Published in ten languages, his books include The Aims of Analysis: Miami Seminar on the Late Lacan (2020) and Twenty-First Century Psychoanalysis (2017). 0aPsychoanalysis. 0aPhilosophy of mind. 0aPolitical psychology. 0aCulturexStudy and teaching. 0aCritical theory. 0aAmericaxPolitics and government.14aPsychoanalysis.24aPhilosophy of Mind.24aPolitical Psychology.24aCultural Studies.24aCritical Theory.24aAmerican Politics.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303161364708iPrinted edition:z9783031613661 0aThe Palgrave Lacan Series,x2946-420X40uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-61365-4
