Lacan and Race (Psychology and the Other)

"This edited volume draws upon Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to examine the conscious and unconscious forces underlying race as a social formation, conceptualizing race, racial identity, and racism in ways that go beyond traditional modes of psychoanalytic thought Featuring contributions from Lacanian scholars from diverse geographical and disciplinary contexts, chapters span a wide breadth of topics including white nationalism and contemporary debates over confederate monuments; emergent theories of race rooted in Afropessimism and postcolonialism; Latinx and other racialized groups; apartheid and American slavery; and applications of Lacans concepts of the lamella, drive and sexuation to processes of racialization. The collection both reorients readers understandings of race through its deployment of Lacanian theory and redefines the Lacanian subject through its theorizing of subjectivity in relation to race, racism and racial identification. Lacan and Race will be a definitive text for psychoanalytic theorists and contemporary scholars of race and appeal to readers across the fields of psychology, cultural studies, humanities, politics, and sociology"--

Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology (Psychology and the Other)

Product Description 
Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology is the first edited collection dedicated to exploring the explicitly phenomenological foundations underlying Frantz Fanon’s most important insights. 
Featuring contributions from many of the world’s leading scholars on Fanon, this volume foregrounds a series of crucial phenomenological topics – inclusive of the domains of experience, structure, embodiment, and temporality – pertaining to the analysis and interrogation of racism and anti-Blackness. Chapters highlight and expand Fanon’s ongoing importance to the discipline of psychology while opening compelling new perspectives on psychopathology, decolonial praxis, racialized time, whiteness, Black subjectivity, the "racial ontologizing of the body," systematic structures of racism and resulting forms of trauma, Black Consciousness, and Africana phenomenology. 
In an era characterized by resurgent forms of anti-Blackness and racism, this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists who remain inspired by Fanon’s legacy. 
 Review 
"Remarkable for its scope and acuity, impressively lucid and well informed, this book successfully locates Fanon in an established phenomenological tradition. In the process, it fundamentally alters the way we read the Martinican psychiatrist's oeuvre. Its succession of incisive and persuasive essays will quickly become a source for debate, elaboration, or contention." ― Achille Mbembe, author of Necropolitics\n"After the post-Floyd summer of 2020, the global significance of race, racism, and ongoing anti-Blackness in particular has become impossible to deny, underlining the continuing, indeed enhanced, relevance of the imperishable texts of Frantz Fanon. This invaluable collection brings together new and classic analyses that should consolidate Fanon’s stature both as a founder of ‘critical’ phenomenology and a pathbreaker in the theorization of an anti-essentialist, politically informed and socially contextualized, human psychology." ― Charles Mills, author of The Racial Contract and Black Rights/White Wrongs: The Critique of Racial Liberalism...? \n"On a foray for love, theorists/psychologists edited this excellent collection, Fanon, Phenomenology and Psychology. Anchored with a beautiful introduction, this book honors an ancestor who was and remains ‘as much psychiatrist as revolutionary.’ As we struggle for self-possession and protection from varied forms of lynching and disappearance, we can find respite here, and deep engagement with the language of struggle and liberation." ― Joy James, editor of Imprisoned Intellectuals and author of Seeking the Beloved Community\n"Urgent, necessary, all-too-timely, Fanon, Phenomenology and Psychology offers us not one but multiple Fanons for this contemporary moment. Within its pages we meet Fanon the psychiatrist, Fanon the phenomenologist, Fanon the freedom fighter and activist, Fanon the chronicler of colonialism, Fanon the diagnostician of racism, Fanon the theorist of time. The cumulative power and promise of the essays gathered here cannot be over-stated. This is just a dazzlingly exciting adventure in reading and thinking." ― Ann Pellegrini, author of Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race\n"This ‘must read’ volume, edited by three phenomenological psychologists, claims Frantz Fanon’s right place at the gateway to critical and decolonial phenomenological psychologies. The book’s chapters, written by world renowned Fanon scholars, make clear Fanon’s importance for critiquing the whiteness of Eurocentric depth psychologies, while opening potential pathways to transdisciplinary psychologies of liberation that begin―as they must―with the racism that sustains coloniality." ― Mary Watkins, author of Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons and co-author of Toward Psychologies of Liberation\n"What more relevant text for our troubled times of racialised pandemic, Black Lives Matter mob

A Critical Psychology of the Postcolonial

An oft-neglected element of postcolonial thought is the explicitly psychological dimension of many of its foundational texts. This unprecedented volume explores the relation between these two disciplines by treating the work of a variety of anti-colonial authors as serious psychological contributions to the theorization of racism and oppression.   This approach demonstrates the pertinence of postcolonial thought for critical social psychology and opens up novel perspectives on a variety of key topics in social psychology. These include:   the psychology of embodiment and racialization resistance strategies to oppression 'extra-discursive’ facets of racism the unconscious dimension of stereotypes the intersection of psychological and symbolic modalities of power.  In addition, the book makes a distinctive contribution to the field of postcolonial studies by virtue of its eclectic combination of authors drawn from anti-apartheid, psychoanalytic and critical social theory traditions, including Homi Bhabha, Steve Biko, J.M. Coetzee, Frantz Fanon, Julia Kristeva, Chabani Manganyi and Slavoj Żiżek. The South African focus serves to emphasize the ongoing historical importance of the anti-apartheid struggle for today’s globalized world. A Critical Psychology of the Postcolonial is an invaluable text for social psychology and sociology students enrolled in courses on racism or cultural studies. It will also appeal to postgraduates, academics and anyone interested in psychoanalysis in relation to societal and political issues.

Reading Lacan’s Écrits: From ‘Signification of the Phallus’ to ‘Metaphor of the Subject’

The Écrits was Jacques Lacan’s single most important text, a landmark in psychoanalysis which epitomized his aim of returning to Freud via structural linguistics, philosophy and literature. Reading Lacan’s Écrits is the first extensive set of commentaries on the complete edition of Lacan’s Écrits to be published in English.  An invaluable document in the history of psychoanalysis, and one of the most challenging intellectual works of the twentieth century, Lacan’s Écrits still today begs the interpretative engagement of clinicians, scholars, philosophers and cultural theorists. The three volumes of Reading Lacan’s Écrits offer just this: a series of systematic paragraph-by-paragraph commentaries – by some of the world’s most renowned Lacanian analysts and scholars – on the complete edition of the Écrits, inclusive of lesser known articles such as ‘Kant with Sade’, ‘The Youth of Gide’, ‘Science and Truth’, ‘Presentation on Transference’ and ‘Beyond the "Reality Principle".  The originality and importance of Lacan’s Écrits to psychoanalysis and intellectual history is matched only by the text’s notorious inaccessibility. Reading Lacan’s Écrits is an indispensable companion piece and reference-text for clinicians and scholars exploring Lacan's magnum opus. Not only does it contextualize, explain and interrogate Lacan's arguments, it provides multiple interpretative routes through this most labyrinthine of texts.  Reading Lacan’s Écrits provides an incisive and accessible companion for psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in training and in practice, as well as philosophers, cultural theorists and literary, social science and humanities researchers who wish to draw upon Lacan’s pivotal work.

Six Moments in Lacan

Many first-time readers of Jacques Lacan come to his work via psychology, a discipline that Lacan was notoriously antagonistic toward. Six Moments in Lacan takes up the dual challenge of introducing Lacanian psychoanalysis to an audience interested in psychology, while also stressing the fundamental differences between the two disciplines. Punctuated by lively examples, Six Moments in Lacan demonstrates the distinctive value of Lacanian concepts in approaching afresh topics such as communication, identity, otherness and inter-subjectivity. Avoiding the jargon and wilful obscurity that so often accompanies expositions of Lacan’s psychoanalytic theories, this book puts Lacanian ideas to work in practical and illuminating ways. A handful of concepts, draw from distinct moments in Lacan’s teaching, are contextualized and explained, and applied to the task of exploring the ‘psychological’ and unconscious dimensions of everyday life. Notions such as the ‘big Other’, ‘full’ versus ‘empty’ speech, logical time, ‘imaginary’ and ‘symbolic’ identification, and the idea of ‘the master signifier’ are brought to life via popular cultural references. Revitalizing several Freudian and Lacanian concepts for everyday use, Six Moments in Lacan asks – and answers – a series of compelling questions:    Why is it that each instance of speech implies a listener?    Why is the notion of subjectivity inadequate when it comes to the ‘trans-subjective’ nature of language?    Is it possible to elaborate a ‘non-psychological’ theory of identification?    Why is a Lacanian approach to ‘the subject’ so at odds with models proposed by psychology?  Six Moments in Lacan provides an accessible and highly engaging introduction to Lacan and Lacanian psychoanalysis, aimed at early practitioners and students in psychoanalysis, psychotherapy and those studying upper undergraduate and postgraduate level psychology.
