The Capitalist Unconscious: Marx And Lacan Kapitalistično Nezavedno. English

• description : A major systematic study of the connection between Marx and Lacan’s work 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 Žižek — 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, Tomšič 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. A Major Systematic Study Of The Connection Between Marx And Lacan's Work This Book Discusses The Importance Of Marx's Critique Of Political Economy In Lacan's Attempt To Rethink The Political And Philosophical Legacy Of Freudian Psychoanalysis. By Situating Marx In The Broader Context Of Lacan's Teaching, It Highlights The Ongoing Importance Of The Capacity Of Psychoanalysis To Reaffirm A Dialectical And Materialist Thinking In Philosophy And Beyond. Lacan Presents An Unorthodox Image Of Marx, Linking His Critique Of Capitalism With The Fundamental Concepts Of Psychoanalysis, The Freudian Labour Theory Of The Unconscious And Emancipatory Politics, Showing That Psychoanalysis, Structuralism And The Critique Of Political Economy Participate In The Same Movement Of Thought, Which Revolutionized The Human Sciences And Whose Relevance Remains Intact Even Today-- This Book Discusses The Importance Of Marx's Critique Of Political Economy In Lacan's Attempt To Rethink The Political And Philosophical Legacy Of Freudian Psychoanalysis.
