In this Palgrave Pivot, Duane Rousselle aims to disrupt the hold
that pragmatist ideology has had over American sociology by
demonstrating that the social bond has always been founded upon a
fundamental and primordial bankruptcy. Using the Lacanian theory of
"capitalist discourse," Rousselle demonstrates that most of early
American sociology suffered from an inadequate account of the
"symbolic" within the mental and social lives of the individual
subject. The psychoanalytic aspect of the social bond remained
theoretically undeveloped in the American context. Instead it is
the "image," a product of the imaginary, which takes charge over
any symbolic function. This intervention into pragmatic sociology
seeks to recover the tradition of "grand theory" by bringing
psychoanalytical and sociological discourse into fruitful
communication with one another.
