Through the examination of anti-psychiatric theory and literary
texts, this timely and thought-provoking volume explores the
possibilities of liberating our habitual patterns of perception and
consciousness beyond the confines of a capitalist era. In
Post-Capitalist Subjectivity in Literature and Anti-Psychiatry,
Skott-Myhre asks the question, how might we be different if we
didn't live in a capitalist society? By drawing on Marxist and
post-Marxist theory, and conducting nuanced analysis of the
professional writings of anti-psychiatrists including Basaglia and
Laing, and the work of fiction writers Kafka and Garcia Marquez,
the text identifies alternative conceptualizations of the self.
Focusing in particular on portrayals of institutions and the
family, Skott-Myhre proposes that these social systems offer new
modes of reading the world and ourselves which will transform
social organization and free subjectivity from dominant capitalist
structures. This transdisciplinary text responds to a revitalized
interest in alternatives to traditional psychology, an interest in
life beyond capitalism, and the crisis in the traditional family.
Post-Capitalist Subjectivity in Literature and Anti-Psychiatry will
offer timely reading for graduate students, researchers, and
scholars in the fields of cultural studies, psychology, philosophy,
family studies, and interdisciplinary studies.
