The Metastases of Enjoyment: On Women and Causality (Radical Thinkers)

The Metastases of Enjoyment: On Women and Causality (Radical Thinkers) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The experience of the Yugoslav war and the rise of "irrational" violence in contemporary societies provides the theoretical and political context of this book, which uses Lacanian psychoanalysis as the basis for a renewal of the Marxist theory of ideology. The author's analysis leads into a study of the figure of woman in modern art and ideology, including studies of The Crying Game and the films of David Lynch, and the links between violence and power/gender relations.

Synopsis:

A disturbing and radical examination of the status of women and the role of violence in contemporary culture and politics.
