Psychoanalysis and the Politics of Family aims to raise a
sophisticated and highly accessible debate around the family,
self-making and the political and cultural implications of
liberation. The text proposes a new way to read the Lacanian theory
of Oedipus and through this reading resituate a series of important
political and theoretical debates that have concerned intellectual
life over the last forty years. It is written with an accessible
style so that both specialists in Lacanian and Marxist theory and a
broader cross-section of readers interested in understanding the
implications of debates across populist and Marxist perspectives
that have occupied the global left since the 2008 economic crash.
The text aims to resituate the way theories of emancipation and
liberation are theorized from a distinctive psychoanalytic and
Lacanian point of view. In resituating the infamous "Oedipus
complex" in a new light, the text re-opens a series of debates with
important theoretical interlocutors, including the influential
American historian and psychoanalytic thinker Christopher Lasch,
whose thought has witnessed a significant renaissance of interest
today, to the staunch critic of Freud and Lacan, Rene Girard, to
Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari and their widely read
Anti-Oedipus series that disputes the Freudian and Lacanian notions
of Oedipus.
