Editor : Jessica Datema, Editor : Angie Voela

Reviews and Endorsements

“With deep acumen, Movement, Velocity, and Rhythm from a Psychoanalytic Perspective reveals how neoliberal capitalism’s performance principle drives us to the brink of destruction, suggesting that opting out of it altogether may be the only way toward a more rewarding life. Slowing down may be our only way to survive, let alone flourish, as we fight for our future and the future of our planet.” - Mari Ruti, Distinguished Professor, University of Toronto, Canada.

“In this fine-tuned collection taking the pulse of the social unconscious, rhythm is shown to be everywhere. Tracking its beat in films, series, and novels, eight compelling essays build a cadence of meaning that resonate together when exploring the psychoanalysis of revolution or stasis, fever or convalescence, the synergy or suspension of time in dance and trauma, the capitalist speeding up of life intersecting with the unwinding of the Anthropocene.” - Patricia Gherovici, Psychoanalyst and author of Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference
