Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is suggested that psychoanalysis is most useful for political theory in two moments: first, when its clinical work prompts us to rethink the practices that undo figurations of subjectivity, and second, when the authors scrutinize those ‘injuries’ or ‘traumas’ that stretch disjunctively across multiple cultures and polities, and search out the conditions of possibility for politics and life to be otherwise.
