Why do we continue to desire psychoanalysis? What can this desire
contribute to a vital cultural criticism? In Desire of the
Analysts, these and other questions are addressed by leading
contributors from a variety of fields, including Sharon Nell,
Deneen Senasi, Kaja Silverman, Henry Sussman, Domietta Torlasco,
Pierre Zoberman, and Slavoj Zizek. They argue for the urgency of a
psychoanalytic criticism that is at once intellectually vibrant,
politically engaged, and uniquely able to illuminate the psychic
motivations and gratifications underlying a range of contemporary
cultural phenomena. These phenomena include nationalistic violence,
the formation of normative masculinity, the psychic appeal of
domination and submission, and the place of the queer desire in
counterhegemonic practices. The contributors explore the role of
psychoanalysis in shaping the future of cultural criticism;
elaborate on innovative ways to approach group dynamics from a
psychoanalytic perspective; rethink psychoanalytic understandings
of authorship; and offer original interpretations of the
intersections between gender, sexuality, and domination. Desire of
the Analysts demonstrates that psychoanalysis remains an
indispensable resource for critiquing our contemporary condition.
