The unconscious processes of speech and language are deeply identified with the ego. In the movement from nature to civilization, the newborn is mastered by language and becomes part of the social world of his parents. The child's thought is now structured by parental language and speech as well as by memories stored in the unconscious. What is real for the individual is composed only of the images and words that define them. Even family and school relationships are structured in language and the social formations that language created in the past. The imaginary and symbolic functions of the mind form ideologies that bind people together and help them to make sense of their world. In schools this leads to submissive students and constant teacher-student conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author uses the works of Freud, Lacan, and Marx to situate schooling in capitalist society. He employs psychoanalytic, linguistic, and anthropological perspectives in an attempt to discover how we think and communicate with one another using unconscious processes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanley Rothstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275943585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275943585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.76w x 0.77d","brand":"Stanley Rothstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013714489599,"sku":"9780275943585","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad66b4be-fc2a-4eb4-816f-81549a6933b8.jpg?v=1767744311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-voice-of-the-other-stanley-rothstein-9780275943585","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
