At the heart of this volume are questions about the psychic
components of the modes of thinking we call "fundamentalist"--that
is, thinking that disavows multiplicities of meaning, abhors
allegorical elements, and strives toward an exclusionary orthodoxy
that codifies not just its own world but that of its adversaries,
its others. The essays address transcendentalist orthodoxies of all
kinds, whether religious or secularist. Fundamentalist elements in
psychoanalysis itself are also placed in question, at the same time
as psychoanalytic thinking and practice is explored as a mode of
knowledge that ultimately unravels fundamentalist tendencies. The
texts in this collection represent a wide array of disciplinary
standpoints. Their overall aspiration is to interrogate discourses
of orthodoxy, literalism, exclusion, and dogma--that is, discourses
obsessed with monolithic (monolingual, monological, monolateral,
monomythical, and certainly monotheistic) encounters with the
world.
