This book examines the use of myth in contemporary popular and high
culture, and proposes that the aporetic subject, the individual
that 'does not know', is the ideal contemporary subject. Using
several contemporary novels, films and theatrical plays that
illustrate aporia - such as Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
(Riordan, 2007), Tron Legacy (Koninski, 2010), Welcome to Thebes
(Buffini, 2010), The Photographers (Koundouros, 1998), Prometheus
(2012) and Prometheus Retrogressing (Sfikas, 1998) - Angie Voela
introduces common ground between Lacanian psychoanalysis and some
of Freud's most ardent critics, Michel Foucault and Jean
Baudrillard, as well as the cultural philosopher Bernard Stiegler.
These unprecedented systematic comparisons broaden the scope and
impact of Lacanian psychoanalysis in inter-disciplinary debates of
philosophy and culture and Voela argues that apart from dealing
with the past, psychoanalysis must also deal more explicitly with
the present and the future. She presents a unique inquiry into
modern subjectivity that will be of great interest to scholars of
psychoanalysis, philosophy, film, literature and contemporary
culture.
