This book depicts how Freud's cocaine and Benjamin's hashish
illustrate two critiques of modernity and two messianic
emancipations through the pleasures of intoxicating discourse.
Freud discovered the "libido" and "unconscious" in the industrial
mimetic scheme of cocaine, whereas Benjamin found an inspiration
for his critique of phantasmagoria and its variant psychoanalysis
in hashish's mimesis. In addition, as part of the history of
colonialism, both drugs generated two distinct colonial discourses
and, consequently, two different understandings of the emancipatory
powers of pleasure, the unconscious, and dreams. After all, great
ideas don't liberate; they intoxicate.
