This work presents thoughts on the Lacanian subject: What are we as
a speaking being? What makes us a human subject from a
psychoanalytic perspective? Is it feelings and affect that make us
a human? Or was it the Freudian invention of the unconscious that
drew a line between human and a non-human? What can be learnt from
the subject of the unconscious in the clinic of psychoanalysis that
can help us to approach these questions? Berjanet Jazani takes
examples from the psychoanalytic clinic as well as cultural
references ranging from ancient Persia to London's Theatreland in
order to elaborate the question of subjectivity, reality and truth
from a psychoanalytic perspective. In the era of hyperreality, the
agency of branding and marketing strategies has overshadowed the
reality of a human being, his true nature and agency. The
hyperreality of contemporary society creates in each individual a
false hope of becoming a high-fidelity copy of their idols, and
such a fallacy has led many to believe that this is what determines
their being in a social bond. Jazani explores the question of the
reality and mortality of a subject through a Lacanian prism, from
the theorising of analytical subjectivity that starts with the
Freudian Oedipal myth more than a century ago to the futurist
aspiration to fabricate human beings according to some ideal model.
This book will be important reading for students and academics of
Lacanian psychoanalysis, as well as professionals concerned with
complex social problems.
