This volume focuses specifically on the field of psychoanalytic social theory emerging in and between psychoanalysis, feminism, post-colonial studies and queer theory, and across the disciplines of philosophy, literary, film and cultural studies.

Between the Psyche and the Social is the first collection that specifically features the field of psychoanalytic social theory emerging in and between psychoanalysis, feminism, postcolonial studies, and queer theory, and across the disciplines of philosophy, literary, film, and cultural studies. This collection of essays takes the psychoanalytic study of social oppression in some new directions by engaging--indeed, stirring up--unconscious fantasies and ethical tensions at the heart of social subjectivity.
