Jouissance as Ananda seeks to resolve the often-problematic Western
concept of the ego by proposing a cross-cultural theory of
consciousness that draws on Indian philosophy. Author Ashmita
Khasnabish begins with a critique of Western psychoanalysis,
engaging French feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray's concept of
jouissance to highlight shortcomings in the work of Freud and
Lacan. Khasnabish then seeks to expand the idea of jouissance by
comparing it with the Indian concept of ananda. The highly
theoretical analysis of philosophical and psychoanalytic terms is
combined with an examination of colonial and postcolonial
literature. A thoughtful and immensely creative approach to
psychoanalytic theory, Jouissance as Ananda will be of interest to
readers from a variety of cultures and disciplines.
