In this exciting new collection, leading and emerging Lacanian
scholars seek to understand what psychoanalysis brings to debates
about the environment and the climate crisis. They argue that we
cannot understand climate change and all of its multifarious
ramifications without first understanding how our terrifying
proximity to the real undergirds our relation to the environment,
how we mistake lack for loss and mourning for melancholy, and how
we seek to destroy the same world we seek to protect. The book
traces Lacan's contribution through a consideration of topics
including doomsday preppers, forest suicides, Indigenous
resistance, post-apocalyptic films, the mathematics of climate
science, and the relevance of Kant. They ask: What can you do if
your neighbour is a climate change denier? What would Bartleby do?
Does the animal desire? Who is cleaning up all the garbage on the
internet? Why is the sudden greening of the planet under COVID-19
no help whatsoever? It offers a timely intervention into Lacanian
theory, environmental studies, geography, philosophy, and literary
studies that illustrates the relevance of psychoanalysis to current
social and environmental concerns.
