Psychoanalysis and the Love of Arabic reorients the debates around
Arabic and global modernity in relation to psychoanalysis,
capitalism and universality. The study offers the first
psychoanalytic reading of 19th-century works written during the
nahda movement by Ahmad Faris Shidyaq (1805 87) and Butrus
al-Bustani (1819 83), showing how a curious relationship was forged
between language and politics one driven by both a desire for, and
anxiety about, modernity. In analysing the abstractness of national
belonging as belonging to the language, author Nadia Bou Ali
considers why modern Arabic grammarians fell in love with language
again and explores how language became ideated as a 'mirror of the
nation'.

problems of language speak for the subject of the unconscious,
divided by language, desire and enjoyment.
Lacan Contra Foucault seeks to ground the divergences and
confluences between these two key thinkers in relation to
contemporary philosophy and criticism. Specifically the topics of
sexuality, the theory of the subject, history and historicism,
scientific formalization, and ultimately politics. In doing so, the
authors in this volume open up new connections between Lacan and
Foucault and shine a light on their contemporary relevance to
politics and critical theory.
