Rezensionen

"The Routledge Handbook of Psychoanalytic Political Theory introduces the reader into a new but rapidly growing field in the social sciences. It provides key texts by well known scholars on the ways in which psychoanalytic theory and practice have an impact on the political order. The editor Yannis Stavrakakis provides an illuminating and extensive introduction which explains the general organization and the basic themes and controversies. There is no doubt that the book will be a vital tool for those who want to explore and develop further the variety of theoretical/conceptual frameworks that the volume provides. It will also be useful to researchers who want to study empirically the influence of psychoanalytic approaches to themes and controversies in the areas of feminism, nationalism, consumerism, populism, etc."

Nicos Mouzelis, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, London School of Economics, UK

"Far from simply serviceable and convenient, this Routledge Handbook of Psychoanalytic Political Theory is handy in the robust, Chaucerian sense. Intellectually challenging and urgent, it explains the crucial, updated psychoanalytical concepts now impacting political theory, while providing a clear account of the various ways in which psychoanalysis and political theory related to each other previously. While the interventions of Freud and Lacan are, rightly, privileged, other formidable psychoanalytic figures also receive fresh attention. This is a volume that will be treasured."

Joan Copjec, Professor of Modern Culture and Media, Brown University, USA

"A must-read Handbook featuring a mix of established, mid- and early-career scholars working at the crossroads of psychoanalytic thought and socio-political theory. Covering an impressive range of themes, concepts, and issues, Stavrakakis and his team have assembled timely contributions that demonstrate the enduringly dynamic and productive interplay between these disciplines. Surely a work of reference for years to come!"

Jason Glynos, Professor of Political Theory, University of Essex, UK

"While we may be at a particular bleak moment in time, the Routledge Handbook of Psychoanalytic Political Theory provides an important and foundational volume for scholars, students and activists who wish to understand and apply the different concepts and debates that different schools within psychoanalysis can offer. The thought that psychoanalysis is alive and well in some political scholarship may perhaps provide us with some joy and hope."

Subjectivity

"[W]hat is remarkable, and indeed distinctive, about this collection, is that it carves out a space for psychoanalytic political theory as a specific orientation in political studies. This is a thought provoking, and, as I will suggest, significant endeavour for any theorist dissatisfied with the many iterations of liberal political theory."
