The contributors use psychoanalysis to expose the unconscious desires, excesses, and antagonisms that accompany the world of economic flows, cultural circulation, and sociopolitical change. Unlike the mainstream discourse of globalization, which most often assumes unencumbered movement across borders, these contributors uncover what Lacan calls \"the Real\" of the gl\u003ci\u003eO\u003c\/i\u003ebal--its rifts, gaps, exceptions, and contradictions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePsychoanalysis and the Gl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eO\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ebal\u003c\/i\u003e adopts a psychoanalytic lens to highlight the unconscious circuits of enjoyment, racism, and anxiety that trouble, if not undermine, globalization's economic, cultural, and environmental goals or gains. The contributors interrogate how unconscious desires and drives are externalized in our increasingly globalizing world: the ways in which traumas and emotional conflicts are integral to the disjunctures, homogeneities, and contingencies of global interactions; how social passions are manifested and materialized in political economy as much as in climate change, urban architecture, refugee and gender politics, or the growth of neo-populism; and how the unconscious serves as a basis for the rise and breakdown of popular movements against authoritarianism and neoliberal globalization. \u003ci\u003ePsychoanalysis and the GlO\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ebal\u003c\/i\u003e represents a major step forward in understanding globalization and also in extending the range and power of psychoanalytic critiques in, and of, geography. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilan Kapoor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496207327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496207326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Ilan Kapoor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065647837439,"sku":"9781496207326","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7350462-16a8-4028-b279-c06ee39c13de.jpg?v=1768676352","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/psychoanalysis-and-the-global-ilan-kapoor-9781496207326","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
