Eros and Economy: Jung, Deleuze, Sexual Difference explores the
possibility that social relations between things, partially
inscribed in their aesthetics, offer important insights into
collective political-economic relations of domination and desire.
Drawing on the analytical psychology of Carl Jung and the
philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, this book focuses on the idea that
desire or libido, overlaid by sexual difference, is a driving force
behind the material manifestations of cultural production in
practices as diverse as art or economy. Re-reading the history of
capitalism and aesthetics with an awareness of the forces of sexual
difference reveals not just their integral role in the development
of capitalist markets, but a new understanding of our
political-economic relations as humans. The appearance of the
energies of sexual difference is highlighted in a number of
different historical periods and political economies, from the
Rococo period of pre-revolutionary France, to the aesthetics and
economics of Keynesian Bloomsbury, to our contemporary Postmodern
sensibility. With these examples, Jenkins demonstrates that the
very constitution of capitalist markets is affected by the
interaction of these forces; and she argues that a conscious
appreciation and negotiation of them is integral to an immanent,
democratic understanding of power. With its unique application of
Jungian theory, this book provides important new insights into
debates surrounding art, aesthetics, and identity politics, as well
as into the quest for autonomous, democratic institutions of
politics and economics. As such, this book will appeal to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of
Jung, psychoanalysis, political economy, cultural studies and
gender studies, as well as those interested in the field of
cultural economy.
