The use of psychoanalytic ideas to explore social and political
questions is not new. Freud began this work himself and social
research has consistently drawn on his ideas. This makes perfect
sense. Social and political theory must find ways to conceptualise
the relation between human subjects and our social environment; and
the distinctive and intense observation of individual psychical
structuring afforded within clinical psychoanalysis has given rise
to rich theoretical and methodological resources for doing just
this. However, psychoanalytic concepts do not remain the same when
they are rearticulated in the context of research. This book traces
the reiteration and transformation of concepts in the
psychoanalytic theory of Freud, Klein and Lacan, the social theory
of Butler, Derrida, Foucault, Laclau and Zizek, and case studies of
empirical research ranging from the classic Tavistock Institute
studies to contemporary work in politics, gender studies, cultural
studies and education. Each chapter explores one cluster of
concepts: Melancholia, loss and subjectivity Overdetermination and
free association Resistance, reflexivity and the compulsion to
repeat Repression, disavowal and foreclosure Psychic defenses and
social defenses Arguing against the reification of psychoanalytic
concepts, Claudia Lapping suggests the need for a reflexive
understanding of the play of attachments and substitutions as
concepts are reframed in the contrasting activities of
psychoanalysis and research.
