This book integrates thinking about dilemmas faced in the context
of the clinical practice of psychoanalysis today, with contemporary
social and political concerns specific to the age of the global
consumer marketplace. Beginning with an analysis of the fate of the
concept of sublimation in Freud's work, and its relationship to the
elaboration of the concept of the superego in 1923, Jared Russell
examines how these concepts provide a lever for integrating
psychoanalytic thinking with topics of urgent social concern,
beyond the critique of ideology. Taking up topics such as the
experience of time, addiction to consumption, and the general
consequences of the insinuation of digital technologies at
increasingly earlier stages in human development-and thinking these
through the lens of what the clinical practice of psychoanalysis
teaches us about intimate human relatedness-the book addresses how
a philosophically oriented approach to psychoanalysis can
illuminate our response to the problems of everyday life under
conditions of late capitalism. Drawing on a diverse range of
authors such as Freud, Heidegger, Hans Loewald, Christopher Bollas,
Lacan, Deleuze and Bernard Stiegler, it is argued that the concepts
of sublimation and of the superego must be reinvented with regard
to both clinical and critical discourse today if psychoanalysis is
to remain relevant to the major issues we face, both individually
and collectively, in the twenty-first century. Sublimation and
Superego: Psychoanalysis Between Two Deaths stages a unique
encounter between philosophy, critical theory and clinical practice
that will be of interest to psychoanalysts, scholars of
twentieth-century continental philosophy, critical social theorists
and mental health practitioners.
