Produktbeschreibung

Reading with Muriel Dimen/Writing with Muriel Dimen: Experiments in Theorizing a Field is a collection of reading and writing experiments inspired by the late feminist psychoanalyst Muriel Dimen.

Each of the six projects that comprise this volume explores a stylistic and thematic manner of reading and responding to Dimen's work, challenging the field to write outside the standardized edition, and covering a remarkable breadth of essential analytic topics, such as sex, gender, money, love and hate, and boundary violations. As an homage to Dimen's quest to engage the personal and the political in the author's craft, and in collaboration with Dimen's endeavour to foster revolution across the psychosocial landscape that renders psychoanalysis its field, the authors offer readers a wild analysis of reading and writing.

Providing a clear introduction to and exploration of Muriel Dimen's groundbreaking work, this book will prove essential for scholars of psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and gender studies, as well as anyone seeking to understand Dimen's influence on psychoanalytic practice today.

Rezensionen

'Bringing together six of the most provocative of Muriel Dimen's essays, Hartman wisely and playfully frames each with a team of invited commentaries that underscore Dimen's unique way of mixing theory building, self-reflection, and political aims to enliven the psychoanalytic field. The commentaries form a diverse set of interdisciplinary, intergenerational, international and intersectionally informed writers respond to Dimen's call for a wild practice, a revolutionizing form of psychoanalytic reasoning that does not lose sight of collective concerns of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and class. Reading with Muriel Dimen / Writing with Muriel Dimen is a real treat: a brilliant and passionate conversation in which Muriel's vision and voice are given to us fresh with insight for these times.'
