Lacan's unorthodox reading of Marx refigured such crucial concepts as alienation, jouissance and the Freudian 'labour theory of the unconscious'. Tracing these developments, Tomsič maintains that psychoanalysis, structuralism and the critique of political economy participate in the same movement of thought; his book shows how to follow this movement through to some of its most important conclusions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samo Tomsic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784781088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784781088\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Samo Tomsic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44130638528767,"sku":"9781784781088","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8cb3c451-3d96-4063-934e-ef5fc8c2a131.jpg?v=1687470478","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-capitalist-unconscious-samo-tomsic-9781784781088","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
