Psychoanalysis in Contexts

Psychoanalysis in Contexts provides a comprehensive overview of the central issues

and debates in contemporary psychoanalytic theory. It also offers guidelines for

the reformulation of social, political and cultural theory in the light of

psychoanalysis.

It includes a discussion of the nature of subjectivity and its relation to the

unconscious; the inter-relation of unconscious sexuality and gender; and the psycho-

political dimensions of the late modern age. Psychoanalysis in Contexts will become

a standard reference point for students and professionals in psychoanalysis and

contemporary theory, and for all those in the social sciences interested in the

psychoanalytic reformulation of contemporary social thought.
