Political Pathologies from The Sopranos to Succession argues that
highly praised prestige TV shows reveal the underlying fantasies
and contradictions of upper-middle class political centrists.
Through a psychoanalytic interpretation of The Sopranos, Breaking
Bad, The Wire, House of Cards, Dexter, Game of Thrones, and
Succession, Robert Samuels reveals how moderate "liberals" have
helped to produce and maintain the libertarian Right. Samuels'
analysis explores the difference between contemporary centrists and
the foundations of liberal democracy, exposing the myth of the
"liberal media" and considers the consequences of these celebrated
series, including the undermining of trust in modern liberal
democratic institutions. Political Pathologies from The Sopranos to
Succession contributes to a greater understanding of the ways media
and political ideology can circulate on a global level through the
psychopathology of class consciousness. This book will be of great
interest to academics and scholars considering intersections of
psychoanalytic studies, television studies and politics.
