Does the Internet Have an Unconscious? is both an introduction to
the work of Slavoj Zizek and an investigation into how his work can
be used to think about the digital present. Clint Burnham uniquely
combines the German idealism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and Marxist
materialism found in Zizek's thought to understand how the
Internet, social and new media, and digital cultural forms work in
our lives and how their failure to work structures our pathologies
and fantasies. He suggests that our failure to properly understand
the digital is due to our lack of recognition of its political,
aesthetic, and psycho-sexual elements. Mixing autobiographical
passages with critical analysis, Burnham situates a Zizekian theory
of digital culture in the lived human body.
