Rottenberg examines what emerges from the difference between psychoanalysis and philosophy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart I, \"\u003ci\u003eFreud\u003c\/i\u003eerrida,\" announces a non-traditional Freud: a Freud associated not with sexuality, repression, unconsciousness, and symbolization, but with accidents and chance. Looking at accidents both in and of Freud's writing, Rottenberg elaborates the unexpected insights that both produce and disrupt our received ideas of psychoanalytic theory. Whether this disruption is figured as a foreign body, as traumatic temporality, as spatial unlocatability, or as the death drive, it points to something that is neither simply inside nor simply outside the psyche, neither psychically nor materially determined. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhereas the close reading of Freud leaves us open to the accidents of psychoanalytic writing, Part II, \"Freu\u003ci\u003ederrida\u003c\/i\u003e,\" addresses itself to what transports us back and limits the openness of our horizon. Here the example par excellence is the death penalty and the cruelty of its calculating decision. If \"Freu\u003ci\u003ederrida\u003c\/i\u003e\" insists on the death penalty, if it returns to it compulsively, it is not only because its calculating drive is inseparable from the history of reason as philosophical reason; it is also because the death penalty provides us with one of the most spectacular and spectacularly obscene expressions of Freud's death drive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten with rigor, elegance, and wit, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Freud, Derrida, and the many critical debates to which their thought gives rise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Rottenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0823284115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780823284115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fordham University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2020","brand":"Elizabeth Rottenberg","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086982164735,"sku":"9780823284115","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b22a4e45-8370-461b-aa6e-8a6b9cdb74be.jpg?v=1769097623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-the-love-of-psychoanalysis-elizabeth-rottenberg-9780823284115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
