Explores how aspects of psychoanalysis intersect with elements of social and cultural theory.
Builds on the work of Slavoj Zizek regarding Lacan's concept of jouissance.
Highly interdisciplinary work which presents a Freudian-Lacanian approach to the social sciences, conceding a central role to subjectivity as a legitimate approach to the study of leadership, primate research, social psychology, culture, and political theory.
'This original text presents an innovative interdisciplinary approach, where key concepts within different paradigms - such as jouissance in Lacanian theory, surplus value in Marxist theory, and nothingness/emptiness in the Buddhist tradition - relate to each other, challenging the boundaries of traditional political theory, and inviting us to rethink the relations among power, ethics, and civil society.'
Martin Hopenhayn, social theorist for United Nations; author, Beyond Nihilism and the Sense of Belonging in Fragmented Societies
