Steven Swarbrick maintains that psychoanalysis does not simply help us integrate our desires into a constituency of multispecies actors. Instead, psychoanalysis destitutes our fantasies of ecological and psychic wholeness. That destitution, he argues, is the unconscious source of our enjoyment. Exploring films by Lars von Trier, Kelly Reichardt, Daniel Kwan, and Daniel Scheinert, among others, and intervening in trenchant debates about negativity and desire, Swarbrick urges a return to the existentialist subject of lack against the flattening of subjectivity by ecocriticism. \u003ci\u003eThe Earth Is Evil\u003c\/i\u003e is a vigorous attempt to construct a leftist environmental movement in dialogue with the most radical currents of critical theory. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Swarbrick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496244060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496244062\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 10\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Steven Swarbrick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46880816693503,"sku":"9781496244062","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40ebe729-df71-487e-be45-edd256b30058.jpg?v=1747969822","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-earth-is-evil-steven-swarbrick-9781496244062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
