Both Freud and Lacan defined the transference as the ego s last
stand its final desperate attempt to keep the truth of the
unconscious at bay. Both also viewed the transference as a social
phenomenon.
In "The Structures of Love" James Penney argues that transference
is the concept with which psychoanalysis thinks through the
unconscious demands that circumscribe and can sabotage our creative
initiatives in the arts and politics. Penney suggests a method of
cultural analysis that enables us to identity the transformative
potential of genuine artistic and political acts. He stages a
dialogue between Lacan s psychoanalysis and the philosophy of Alain
Badiou; includes chapters on Frantz Fanon and Jean Genet, Chantal
Akerman and Lucien Freud; and explores the aesthetic, political,
and ethical consequences of the transference idea, pushing it into
exciting new territory."
