Ornette Coleman, Psychoanalysis, Discourse
Ornette Coleman, Psychoanalysis, Discourse develops tools from psychoanalysis for the analysis of Ornette Coleman's discourse. In this psychoanalytic, philosophical and musical meditation on what it means to follow, A. L. James presents an approach to the analysis of discourse that is a kind of listening for listening – an attempt to discern in and between the lines of Coleman's speech the implication of new ways to listen, new ways to experience Coleman’s music as movement and space – as Movements in Harmolodic Space. Each chapter of this book is oriented with respect to fragments from Coleman’s discourse, dealing with a piece, or collection of pieces, from Coleman’s work, with particular attention to the implication of relations and relationality. Insofar as Coleman’s discourse about his work also contains allusions to fields beyond music, it develops tools that draw elements and structures from these fields together, finding in their relation echoes and parallels. Ornette Coleman, Psychoanalysis, Discourse will be of great interest to psychoanalysts, musicians, and musicologists. It will be relevant for academics and scholars of psychoanalytic and Lacanian studies, music, and cultural studies.
Queer Theory, Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Sexual Politics
Author: Luiz Valle Junior
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2025-03-21
Queer Theory, Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Sexual Politics is a consideration of the relationship between LGBTQIA+ politics, Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, and queer theory. The book argues, through readings of Judith Butler’s Gender Trouble and Lee Edelman’s No Future, that core queer categories – such as normativity and anti-normativity – sidestep questions that are crucial not only to contemporary sexual politics but also to psychoanalytic thinking and clinical work. Luiz Valle Junior attends to the queer account of the political shortcomings of the contemporary LGBTQIA+ movement, as well as to the inadequacies of the queer reception of Lacanian psychoanalysis and makes a case for the ongoing relevance of Lacanian psychoanalysis to thinking through a renewed sexual politics. The book reflects on the potentiality of a Lacanian theory of sexual politics to challenge the dominance of identity in contemporary LGBTQIA+ activism and in the queer theoretical archive. Valle Junior shifts the discussion of sexual politics from the terrain of normativity and identity to the terrain of desire and enjoyment, and questions enduring heteronormative positions that contemporary Lacanians continue to espouse, against Lacan’s own position. Queer Theory, Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Sexual Politics will be of great interest to academics and scholars of queer studies, psychoanalysis, and in the LGBTQIA+ movement, and more broadly in the relation of identity analytics to contemporary psychoanalytic and political thought.
Decolonization and Psychoanalysis
Author: Ahmad Fuad Rahmat
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2025-04-17
Decolonization and Psychoanalysis challenges conventional psychoanalytic assumptions by revisiting Lacan’s conceptualization of the materiality of speech through a decolonial lens. Ahmad Fuad Rahmat explores how Lacan’s ideas about the symbolic order and its historical development are intertwined with decolonial assumptions, and proposes that critically considering these assumptions can pave the way for a decolonial psychoanalysis. The book begins with how Lacan uses Freud’s Jewishness as a marginalized perspective that reveals the excluded dimensions of signification within the symbolic order, and examines James Joyce’s anti-colonial politics and its significance for Lacan’s conception of the sinthome. The book includes a critique of Slavoj Žižek’s Eurocentric reading of Malcolm X as a foil with which colonized speech could be conceived as “symbolic dispossession”. Finally, it reframes the notion of “the gap” by understanding global capitalism as a mode of exchange to advocate for a decolonial psychoanalysis that focuses on the non-spaces of transmission as opposed to a like-for-like export of the clinic from the center to the periphery. Decolonization and Psychoanalysis will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and to scholars of psychoanalytic studies, critical theory, and cultural studies.
