Even before we think, we use fantasy. Is fantasy the 'mother of all
media'? Does fantasy save me from myself? Are there fictions that
are real? In The Surface Effect Andre Nusselder examines the space
of fantasy between individual 'inner life' and social 'outer life'.
Where we assume that fantasy only operates where we float off in
imaginary realms, this book shows that we are in it from the
beginning. Based on the work of Jacques Lacan, Nusselder elaborates
Lacan's theory, showing how the effects of unconscious processes
converge in fantasy as our principal medium for self-identity,
perception, remembering and intersubjectivity. The human mind is
seen as a composite function of language, body and social world,
and fantasy is the fundamental process to study this effect. The
book is divided into three sections: - The Philosophical Context -
Lacan's Theory of Fantasy - Lacan and Philosophy The Surface Effect
analyses fantasy as a medium, both creative and protective
operating between anxiety and excess. It focuses on the role of
fantasy in psychoanalysis, and follows its path towards reflections
on mediation and new media. This book will appeal to
psychoanalysts, philosophers, cognitive scientists and those
studying new media, film, culture and literature. Andre Nusselder
is a Dutch philosopher, writer and computer programmer.
