| Summary | This work offers an exploration and critique of Blanchot's various engagements with psychoanalysis, from the early 1950s onward. Kuzma highlights the political contours of Blanchot's writings on Freud, Lacan, Leclaire, Winnicott, and others, ultimately suggesting a link between these writings and Blanchot's broader attempts at rethinking the nature of human relationality, responsibility, and community. 0This book makes a substantive contribution to our understanding of the political and philosophical dimensions of Blanchot's writings on madness, narcissism, and trauma, among other topics of critical and clinical relevance. 'Maurice Blanchot and Psychoanalysis' comprises an indispensable text for anyone interested in tracing the history of psychoanalysis in post- War France. |
