The Lacanian Left: Psychoanalysis, Theory, Politics

Engaging with the role of affect and emotion in political life through the central Lacanian notion of 'enjoyment', The Lacanian Left puts forward innovative anlyses of political power and authority, nationalism, European identity, consumerism and advertising culture, de-democratisation and post-democracy. It is of value to everyone interested in exploring the potential of psychoanalysis to reinvigorate political theory, critical political analysis and democratic politics.
