A Psychoanalysis Influenced by Dissidence, Decoloniality, and Feminism - Fernando Barrios - diskuze

A Psychoanalysis Influenced by Dissidence, Decoloniality, and Feminism analyzes the intersection of psychoanalysis with feminisms, decolonial theories, philosophy and queer theory. Fernando Barrios asks key questions such as: Is psychoanalysis a Eurocentric invention based on a colonial logos, and is there room for anything else? What can psychoanalysis say about the racialisation of bodies, poverty, and class? What can it say not only about the subjective effects of systems of oppression but also about the very production of subjectivity within them? Barrios considers texts and authors who rarely meet in dialogue – Indigenous, Chicano, and border feminisms, Jean Genet and authors of the anti-social turn in the queer field, Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan in tension with Monique Wittig and Jack Halberstam, Paul B. Preciado and Isabelle Stengers, Donna Haraway and Bruno Latour, the ontological turn and the affective turn – generating a field of productive tension. Through these cross-readings, the book examines the effects of a psychoanalysis that allows itself to be affected by contemporary discourses and practices in a situated manner. A Psychoanalysis Influenced by Dissidence, Decoloniality, and Feminism will be of great interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic and Lacanian studies, feminisms, queer theory, critical theory, and decolonial theories.
