| Description: |
Controversial appraisal of the role of the unconscious in our political livesDeals with the Thatcher phenomenonUrges radical re-reading of Melanie KleinAuthor enjoys celebrity for her controversial book on Sylvia Plath. . |
| Synopsis: |
Over the past decade, psychoanalysis has been a focus of continuing controversy for feminism, and at the centre of debates in the humanities about how we read literature and culture. In these essays, Jacqueline Rose continues her engagement with these issues while arguing for a shift of attention - from an emphasis on sexuality as writing to the place of the unconscious in the furthest reaches of or cultural and political lives. With essays on war, capital punishment and the dispute over seduction in relation to Freud, she opens up the field of psychopolitics. Finally in two extended essays on Melanie Klein and her critics, she suggests that it is time for a radical rereading of Klein's work. |
