This book reveals the workings of the bourgeois passion for
submission in a variety of contemporary contexts. By
(re)introducing the concept 'bourgeois' as an analytical term and
describing this contemporary subject as a psychic economy rather
than just as a social class, Panu shows the intractability of
contemporary forms of enjoyment and neoliberalism's periodic
outbursts of aggressiveness to be connected by a recurrent circuit
of trauma and anxiety originating in the bourgeois subject's
difficult relationship with symbolic authority.So far, most
anticapitalist and decolonial struggles in the West have been
hesitant when engaging with the issue of bourgeois enjoyment as the
main source of capitalism's resilience. This exciting new work
draws on an extensive range of theorists such as Butler, Copjec,
Zizek and Zupancic to emphasise the importance of psychological
mechanisms irreducible to rationality or knowledge such as desire,
enjoyment, and the obscure nature of selfhood in the reiteration of
the current capitalist reality.
