Taking Back Desire: A Psychoanalytic Approach to Queerness and Neoliberalism on Screen
Author: James Lawrence Slattery
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2025-05-13
Taking Back Desire studies film, television and video art texts through a Lacanian prism to restore a sense of queer as troubling identity and resistance to neoliberal forms of inclusion. James Lawrence Slattery illuminates how the framing of desire, identity, enjoyment, resistance and knowledge contribute to the investment in neoliberal formations of being and success, despite the corrosive effects neoliberalism has had for much of society. The book does not read queerness on screen as a discernible group of characters or narrative formulas, but as a point that meaning fails in the visual and temporal field. Examining the interrelation of the real, the imaginary, and the symbolic in contemporary politics and contemporary media, Slattery investigates how a diverse selection of moving image texts forge queerness as a relationship to the lack, while crucially resisting the creation of a new or definitive ‘canon’. Taking Back Desire will be essential reading for academics and scholars of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, queer theory, late capitalism, film, television and media studies, sexuality studies, critical race theory, cultural studies and feminist theory.
Lacan on Society
Author: Edgar Miguel Juárez-Salazar

Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2025-08-13
Lacan on Society is an exhaustive archeological and contingent review of Lacan’s approaches to society throughout his work, seminars, and écrits. Through a systematic and chronological analysis of Lacan’s work, Edgar Miguel Juárez-Salazar highlights critical, structural, and divergent surfaces as they emerge within the concept of society. The book explores diverse manifestations of society to conjugate social and structural phenomena such as ideals, the metamorphoses of social enjoyment, the structural demand to produce social order, and the political economy of the signifier and its abstract circulation. Juárez-Salazar’s work evaluates Lacan's critique of the notion of the family complexes, the relation between society and social modes of enjoyment, and the homology between Marx and Lacan, concluding with an invitation to subvert the understanding of society and its diatribes. Lacan on Society will be of great interest to academics and scholars of psychoanalysis, critical theory and Lacanian studies. It will also be relevant to academics and scholars of political economy, cybernetics, post-Marxist thought, gender studies and sociology.
Understanding Lacan's Objet a
Author: Juan Pablo Lucchelli
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2025-08-01
Understanding Lacan’s Objet a proposes that we modify the accepted approach to Lacan’s ideas and strive to make Lacanian concepts accessible. Juan Pablo Lucchelli gradually introduces conceptual tools, following the emergence of this ‘object of objects’ step by step. The book makes clear the impact of the social in the genesis of objet a as a concept, with the inevitable sharing of the subject’s being with others at its core. Lucchelli demonstrates that there can be no true autonomy of the individual without recognizing the dependence on the other; thus, like Winnicott’s transitional object, Lacan’s objet a is what connects us to others, despite the individualistic pretensions that emerge from the ego. This book will be essential reading both for Lacanian analysts in practice and in training, who wish to deepen their knowledge of the concept of the objet a, and for students of psychoanalysis, philosophy and psychology.
