This book argues that the notion of 'wild' analysis, a term coined
by Freud to denote the use of would-be psychoanalytic notions,
diagnoses, and treatment by an individual who has not undergone
psychoanalytic training, also provides us with a striking new way
of exploring the limits of psychoanalysis. Wild Analysis: From the
Couch to Cultural and Political Life proposes to reopen the
question of so-called 'wild' analysis by exploring psychoanalytic
ideas at their limits, arguing from a diverse range of perspectives
that the thinking produced at these limits - where psychoanalysis
strays into other disciplines, and vice versa, as well as moments
of impasse in its own theoretical canon - points toward new futures
for both psychoanalysis and the humanities. The book's twelve
essays pursue fault lines, dissonances and new resonances in
established psychoanalytic theory, often by moving its insights
radically further afield. These essays take on sensitive and
difficult topics in twentieth-century cultural and political life,
including representations of illness, forced migration and the
experiences of refugees, and questions of racial identity and
identification in post-war and post-apartheid periods, as well as
contemporary debates surrounding the Enlightenment and its modern
invocations, the practice of critique and 'paranoid' reading.
Others explore more acute cases of 'wilding', such as models of
education and research informed by the insights of psychoanalysis,
or instances where psychoanalysis strays into taboo political and
cultural territory, as in Freud's references to cannibalism. This
book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and
students working across the fields of psychoanalysis, history,
literature, culture and politics, and to anyone with an interest in
the political import of psychoanalytic thought today.
