The consulting room was, for militant intellectuals, antithetic to class-consciousness and the collective struggle. But despite this resistance from leftist, or Communist, intellectual discourse, psychoanalysis became steadily more influential. In the period up to the late 1970s, the triad of politics-ideology-commitment acted as a threefold track through which psychoanalysis could spread, and the resistance to it transformed Italy into a unique cultural laboratory for experimental negotiation between analysis and Marxism. Many of these encounters occurred in post-war literature, and Diazzi maps out a distinctively Italian, ideological repurposing of psychoanalysis, turning its inward view into an outward tool of political agency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alessandra Diazzi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781887985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781887981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Legenda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.30d","brand":"Alessandra Diazzi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241922277631,"sku":"9781781887981","price":16.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8836c98-e295-4c53-a47e-941b6432ad43.jpg?v=1772656585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/psychoanalysis-ideology-and-commitment-in-alessandra-diazzi-9781781887981","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
