Renata Salecl

The Spoils of Freedom (eBook, PDF)

Psychoanalysis, Feminism and Ideology after the Fall of Socialism

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The rise of nationalist, racist and anti-feminist ideologies is one of the most frightening repercussions of the collapse of socialism. Using psychoanalytic theories of fantasy to investigate why such extremist ideologies have taken hold, Renata Salecl argues that the major social and political changes in post-communist Eastern Europe require a radical re-evaluation of notions of liberal theories of democracy. In doing so she offers a new approach to human rights and feminism grounded in her own active participation in these struggles, first against communism and now against nationalism and anti-feminism.
