Drawing upon Hegel, Nietzsche, Freud, Foucault, and Althusser, this work aims to offer a theory of subject formation that illuminates as ambivalent the psychic effects of social power. The author considers the way in which psychic life is generated by the social operation of power, and how that social operation of power is concealed and fortified by the psyche that it produces. 230 pages.
