Despite a resurgence of interest in Lacanian psychoanalysis,
particularly in terms of the light it casts on capitalist
ideology-as witnessed by the work of Slavoj Zizek-there remain
remarkably few systematic accounts of the role of Marx in Lacan's
work. A major, comprehensive study of the connection between their
work, The Capitalist Unconscious resituates Marx in the broader
context of Lacan's teaching and insists on the capacity of
psychoanalysis to reaffirm dialectical and materialist thought.
Lacan's unorthodox reading of Marx refigured such crucial concepts
as alienation, jouissance and the Freudian 'labour theory of the
unconscious'. Tracing these developments, Tomsic maintains that
psychoanalysis, structuralism and the critique of political economy
participate in the same movement of thought; his book shows how to
follow this movement through to some of its most important
conclusions. Finalist for the American Board and Academy of
Psychoanalysis Book Prize.
The volume addresses the philosophical, epistemological and
interdisciplinary aspects of the link between psychoanalysis and
topology. Looking at the historical developments of psychoanalytic
theory, one can hardly overlook the significant presence of
architectonic and geometrical references that traverse Freud's
writings. Lacan's return to Freud made a decisive step in taking
these metaphors seriously and engaged with the mathematical
correspondence of Freud's topological models. He thereby
intensified the link with topology, which obtained an important
didactic and conceptual value. The contributions highlight the
ongoing relevance of this "topological turn" in psychoanalysis by
exploring both concrete topological objects and outline the
philosophical framework that supports the relation of
psychoanalysis to topology.
